We can also provide advice to people having problems with their disability benefits.

Dear DABC Community:
We wanted to provide an update about what DABC is doing in the context of the quickly evolving situation around COVID-19. During our temporary office closure, we are actively working on systems to deliver as many of our services as possible remotely. We will provide updates here and on our website when those services are available.
In the meantime, we have been in contact with various provincial and federal ministries, and are actively working with other groups to advocate for emergency supports for people living on low incomes and people with disabilities. We will do our best to update on new supports if and when they are announced.
Thank you for your understanding – we hope everyone is staying safe.
All things exciting at Disability Alliance BC!
