Yes, you can still claim your Disability Tax Credit (DTC) to your supporter as long as you can prove their support throughout the years in question. For example: a parent, spouse.

 

Or disability assistance from British Columbia.

The disability tax credit (DTC) is a non-refundable tax credit that helps persons with disabilities or their supporting persons reduce the amount of income tax they may have to pay. An individual may claim the disability amount once they are eligible for the DTC.
For more information, please see the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) link as Disability tax credit
