I wish our politicians saw what I did when I had to visit two Toronto emergency rooms recently - Toronto Star dlvr.it/T5xvWW
ISAC recently supported a client at the SBT who challenged an ODSP clawback in relation to their student grant. The SBT agreed that this ODSP practice did not align with the Act’s purpose to incentivize &support people with disabilities in their education. incomesecurity.org/new-case-prote…

Adjusted for inflation, one MONTH of CERB was roughly equal to one full YEAR of what the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit will be. ⚖️🤔
Federal budget fell short: not only in providing enough funding for the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit, but also in making the program accessible to all PWD who need it Complex application processes favour those w/ increased resources & ability to navigate complicated systems #Cdnpoli

Canada Disability Benefit funding in the federal budget fell far short of what's needed, advocates say. Will @fordnation protect ODSP rates when the new federal money rolls out? They're not saying yet. Me for @tvo: tvo.org/article/aspira…
We are discouraged that funding for the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit announced in yesterday’s Budget 2024 will fail to lift people with disabilities out of poverty. ☝️More must – and can – be done to #EndDisabilityPoverty in Canada. Our release: bit.ly/FedBudgetCDB_TW

@ODSPAction i'm not sure what is worse really the fact that they made is inaccessible for about half of people or the amount. I figure if they fix the inaccessible part the amount can be fixed later. Anyhow it looks to me that because its less complicated they chose this route. 🤷♀️
