Apply for Disability Benefits

Since 1989, DABC’s Advocacy Access Program has been a place of support, information and one-to-one assistance for people with all disabilities.

Each year, our advocates assist hundreds of people in-house to apply for and appeal the denial of provincial and federal (Canada Pension Plan) disability benefits. We help hundreds more over the phone and by email. We also help other organizations across BC to assist people with disabilities through our workshops and publications.

Please see the links at the right to learn how we can help with provincial and federal disability benefits.
