Community Update: New and Updated Help Sheets

January 18, 2019 by DABC

DABC often receives phone calls and emails from people who are about to turn 65 and are wondering about the transition from provincial disability benefits to old age benefits. To explain this process, DABC advocates have created a new Help Sheet: #12B: Transition from PWD Benefits to Old Age Benefits.

What was previously Help Sheet #12 (Income Assistance Application Process for People with Disabilities), has been renamed Help Sheet #12A.

To view and download the new and updated Help Sheets and the rest of our Help Sheet series, please visit the Publications page on our website:

Hard copies are also available. If you would like us to mail you copies, please contact Val at 604-875-0188 or feedback@disabilityalliancebc.therightfitbc.org.
