Does Morbid Obesity Qualify for The Canadian Disability Tax Credit?
What is Morbid Obesity?
Morbid obesity is when a person has extreme amounts of excess body fat and a body mass index or BMI greater than 35.
BMI is a scale that helps doctors and other medical professionals determine if a person is within a healthy weight range.
Some doctors also consider a person to be morbidly obese if their BMI is not over 35, but they are more than 100 pounds overweight.
