#BudgetTheBenefit campaign
It has been almost 3 years since the federal government promised to create a monthly Canada Disability Benefit for people with disabilities between the ages of 18 and 64. This Benefit, when combined with other income supports, aims to lift people with disabilities out of poverty.
Take action to ensure Bill C-22 is passed into law swiftly by joining the #BudgetTheBenefit campaign, led by Disability Without Poverty!

Disability Without Poverty‘s demands are:
- Bill C-22 for a Canada Disability Benefit needs to be passed into law this Spring 2023
- People with disabilities must be engaged in designing the benefit and implementing it in their province
- Fund and rollout the Canada Disability Benefit in 2023. Funding must be adequate enough to lift people with disabilities out of poverty
