Today, the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction (MSDPR) formalized its commitment to exempt the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) from clawbacks for all recipients of provincial income, disability and hardship benefits in BC. This means that provincial assistance recipients will be able to receive the entire benefit (a maximum of $200/month for those who are eligible for the CDB).
DABC can help every step of the way, whether you need help with a DTC application, renewal, or denial, filing your 2024 taxes, gathering necessary documents, or navigating a CDB application or appeal! Email dtc@dabc.ca for assistance.
Disability Action of Canada is organizing a “Raise the Rates (PWD) Rally & Rave (with DJ)” event at the B.C. Legislature steps & lawn on May 15th – 1pm to 3pm in Victoria.
It will feature speakers (politicians and advocates) and the media will be invited. A DJ will play chill & flow music to close out the event.
Through this event, Disability Action of Canada wants to put public pressure on the BC government to immediately increase the Persons with Disabilities (PWD) Benefit by $300/month for ALL recipients – regardless of shelter status.
