TaxTim says: 10 February 2013 at 22:33 SARS defines disability as such: The term "disability" is defined in section 18(3) of the Act as follows - "disability" means a moderate to severe limitation of a person's ability to function or perform daily activities as a result of a physical, sensory, communication, intellectual or mental impairment, if the limitation- (a) has lasted or has a prognosis of lasting more than a year; and (b) is diagnosed by a duly registered medical practitioner in accordance with criteria prescribed by the Commissioner. If your son's asthma is so severe that he meets that definition and the doctor has issued a notice of this then you would be able to claim for disability expenses related to the asthma. |
