Relying on the Disability Tax Credit to determine eligibility for the Canada Disability Benefit will result in a ‘disturbing segmentation’ of the included and excluded among low-income people with disabilities
For #NationalVolunteerWeek, Jane Warren, treasurer of our Board of Directors, discussed her longstanding volunteering experience with the National Association of Federal Retirees, emphasizing the profound impact of such involvement in the community. Read: bit.ly/4aU2YhC

In 2021 the libs promised a CDB that would reduce poverty like the GIS and CCB. The GIS has a max of $1000/month/person. Yesterday, the feds proposed a CDB with a max of $200/month, delayed until mid 2025, full of barriers. This isn't what the disability community called for.
Announced in #Budget2024, allocated funding for the Canada Disability Benefit amounts to approx. $200 per month for eligible recipients. CNIB joins the growing list of organizations and advocates calling on the government to commit to more support: cnib.ca/en/news/cnib-r….
Advocacy groups including #DailyBreadTO are expressing their concern over the funding of the #Canada #Disability Benefit & it's ability to help people with disabilities live above the poverty line. There remains a clear need to increase payments: bit.ly/49Iva5X @CTVNews
Following yesterday's #federalbudget announcement, allocated funding for the #Canada #Disability Benefit amounts to approximately $200/month per individual, falling short in providing the urgent support people with disabilities need.
Disability community underwhelmed and disappointed by investments in Budget 2024 Realize joins our partners in the National Disability Network to express our disappointment in Budget 2024’s underwhelming investment of $6 a day for people with disabilities.

Pour #IWD, DAWN Canada a demandé une action immédiate, soulignant les taux alarmants de pauvreté, de discrimination et de violence auxquels font face les femmes handicapées, surtout celles aux intersections de l'oppression. #PCPH #30pourcent Lire: bit.ly/3vQW3qo
On #IWD, DAWN Canada urged immediate action, spotlighting the alarming rates of poverty, discrimination, and violence faced by women with disabilities, especially those experiencing intersecting forms of oppression. #FundTheBenefitNow #30percent Read: bit.ly/3xBnbu8
30% of Canadian women live with disabilities, facing higher rates of poverty, discrimination and violence. It's imperative for the government to prioritize funding for the Canada Disability Benefit in the upcoming budget. #30percent #FundTheBenefitNow #CDB #FederalBudget
30 % des femmes canadiennes vivent avec un handicap et sont confrontées à des taux plus élevés de pauvreté, de discrimination et de violence. Il devient critique que le gouvernement priorise le financement de la #PCPH dans le prochain budget. #30pourcent
"A coalition of over 40 organizations is calling for a fully funded Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) that addresses the needs of Canadians. This comes after more than 60 Liberal MPs co-signed a letter calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Deputy Minister Christia Freeland…
A month ago, our CEO, Bonnie Brayton wrote an op-ed for #IWD, highlighting how women with disabilities are frequently overlooked, despite comprising 1 in 3 women. Can we afford to leave out 30% of Canadian women? #30percent #FundTheBenefitNow Read: bit.ly/4amKNAT

My department (@ucl @uclcs) is celebrating the win of an @Athena_SWAN Gold Award for gender equality. I wonder if they noted in their application that mobility-disabled people are barred from accessing the department. Gender equality for whom? Not disabled women! Not me. Livid.
That the federal government is not innocent in the income insecurity of people with disabilities: a quick history
I have been following the development of the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit since September 2020. This is where we are right now: canadianaffairs.news/2024/04/19/sla…
On federal-provincial aspects of the Canada Disability Benefit
Relying on the Disability Tax Credit to determine eligibility for the Canada Disability Benefit will result in a ‘disturbing segmentation’ of the included and excluded among low-income people with disabilities
@DAWNRAFHCanada So wish there can be volunteers sent to our organisation to help with our sustainability project
The Feds know Canada's sky high food costs & cost of living mean a $200 monthly #CDB won't lift disabled people living in poverty out of it. Here's an open letter from @DailyBreadTO you can email the PM & your MP telling them to fully fund #CDB! #CdnPoli fundthebenefit.ca
One more way PWD pushed unfairly into poverty: Stats Canada reports that disabled people are overrepresented among recent evicted tenants. Within sample of evictees, 28% have disability — more than double the proportion within the survey population. cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
"A benefit of $2,400/year is 'wholly inadequate' to help people who need disability income support get out of poverty", said #DailyBreadTO CEO @NCHetherington about the funding allocation of the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit in the #federalbudget: yhoo.it/3JlqVT8 @YahooNews

"We're going to continue to work with the gov't to honour what the legislation says," said #DailyBreadTO CEO @NCHetherington discussing the funding of the #Canada #Disability Benefit in the #federalbudget, on @CBC's Power & Politics. Skip to 1:06:20: bit.ly/3xIwo3T RT
For all those defending the DTC as an alright method of distributing the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit, you need to watch @morricemike detail how this is such an impossible credit to get, and you have to reapply. He fought for the amendment of a BARRIER-FREE #CDB. Recorded January…
We participated in several focus groups, 3 technical roundtables & watched every committee hearing thru HUMA & SOCI. We heard NOT ONE person recommend using the DTC as a gateway to the underfunded #CanadaDisabilityBenefit. We heard lots of folks recommend against it. #Cdnpoli

@ODSPoor Disabled people overrepresented in study of evicted tenants cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
In 2021 the libs promised a CDB that would reduce poverty like the GIS and CCB. The GIS has a max of $1000/month/person. Yesterday, the feds proposed a CDB with a max of $200/month, delayed until mid 2025, full of barriers. This isn't what the disability community called for.
Announced in #Budget2024, allocated funding for the Canada Disability Benefit amounts to approx. $200 per month for eligible recipients. CNIB joins the growing list of organizations and advocates calling on the government to commit to more support: cnib.ca/en/news/cnib-r….
1/2 #PWD say the #Budget2024 #CanadaDisabilityBenefit announcement was a slap in the face. Canada must immediately fix this broken promise, increase the benefit to an adequate amount & leave no one behind in poverty #SenCA #cdnpoli #cdnmedia
Advocacy groups including #DailyBreadTO are expressing their concern over the funding of the #Canada #Disability Benefit & it's ability to help people with disabilities live above the poverty line. There remains a clear need to increase payments: bit.ly/49Iva5X @CTVNews
Following yesterday's #federalbudget announcement, allocated funding for the #Canada #Disability Benefit amounts to approximately $200/month per individual, falling short in providing the urgent support people with disabilities need.
