Updates to Disability Benefits Help Sheets

November 7, 2011 by DABC

We recently updated two of our Help Sheets:

Help Sheet 7: Health Supplements for People with Disabilities. The update reflects changes the government has made to its policy on orthotics
Help Sheet 12: Income Assistance Application Process for People with Disabilities. The update focuses on the Ministry of Social Development’s practise of asking new applicants to complete the first part of the application process online.

To access our Help Sheets, visit our Library/Money & Income Supports page. Contact Valerie at feedback@bccpd.bc.ca or call her at 604-875-0188 if you’d like any Help Sheets mailed to you.
