National Benefit Authority (NBA) is the largest Disability Tax Credit service provider in Canada,[2] and a founding member of the Association of Canadian Disability Benefit Professionals (ACDBP). Based in Toronto, National Benefit Authority assists clients across Canada in applying for the credit[3] in exchange for a 30% share of the credit.[4][5] NBA has supported over 40,000 successful applications.[6]

The company was founded by Akiva Medjuck, who saw firsthand what it was like to deal with physical challenges, from relatives coping with disabilities, including a brother and a sister, both born deaf.[7]
