Yes, you will have to enter this information in your tax return but as per CRA, if the person with the impairment does not need the entire disability amount to reduce their income tax, they may transfer some or all of the disability amount to the supporting family member who is identified on the DTC application form.

Who qualifies as a supporting members:

A supporting family member is someone who the person with the impairment depends on for at least 1 of the basic necessities of life (food, shelter, and clothing).

The family member must be 1 of the following:

their spouse or common-law partner
their child or grandchild
their parent, grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece, or nephew
a child or grandchild of their spouse or common-law partner
a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, uncle, aunt, niece, or nephew of their spouse or common-law partner
For more details, visit CRA.
