To claim transportation and travel expenses, all of the following conditions must be met:
- Substantially equivalent medical services were not available near your home.
- You took a reasonably direct travelling route.
- It is reasonable, under the circumstances, for you to have travelled to that place to get those medical services.
If a medical practitioner certifies in writing that you were not able to travel alone to get medical services, you can also claim the transportation and travel expenses of an attendant.
If these conditions have been met- you must make sure that you have all receipts which you will be able to supply to the CRA when asked, so that they can verify the amount you have entered as medical expenses.
