Albertans with disabilities deserve better Alberta’s new disability program isn’t about empowerment — it’s about stripping support from the people who need it most

"And the cruelest part? Alberta plans to claw back every dollar of the new federal Canada Disability benefit from provincial payments."

For some federal disability benefit recipients, the rollout has been a 'slap in the face' | CBC News Some Canadians with disabilities say a tumultuous rollout, an arduous application process and a meager payout have soured their view of the Canada Disability Benefit.

"It was purposefully created to be confusing, and to have barriers and to be demotivating." #DisabilityBenefit

Update: For anyone else who didn't get their #CanadaDisabilityBenefit, you no longer need to call. They're now saying they're aware of the issue, people don't need to do anything and they are taking action to fix it. #CDB #PWD #DisabilityBenefit

6/9 The rent hike comes as Alberta is the ONLY province clawing back the $200 federal Canada Disability Benefit from AISH recipients.

While other provinces let disabled residents keep both benefits, Alberta deducts the federal amount from provincial payments.

B.C. helps people keep full federal Canada Disability Benefit People receiving provincial income assistance in British Columbia who are also eligible to receive the new federal Canada Disability Benefit will keep the entire benefit, thanks to a B.C. exemption.

As the application process for the new Canada Disability Benefit begins today (June 20th), it's important to note that the BC government commits to no clawbacks once payments begin. #disability #disabilitybenefit #canada #BC #FridayFeeling news.gov.bc.ca/releases/202...

As if living with #LongCovid wasn't bad enough, now this Labour gov't want to take away our financial support.

I stand to lose £££ thousands every year from #DisabilityBenefit cuts, as will many, many others.

With the little energy we have, we must oppose these cruel cuts 👇

Good Morning Everyone🙏✊
Day 340 of Lab Govt
Govt decision to restore #WinterFuelPayments from this winter is welcome but it still leaves millions facing cruel & unnecessary #DisabilityBenefit cuts
If govt must refill its leaky coffers why not tax the super rich?

@mark-carney.bsky.social please ensure your mandates are aligned with the 40 year old changes to the Canadian Charter and Human Rights Code which recognize disabled Canadians as equal citizens. We need a Minister to sheppard the #AccessibleCanada Act, the #DisabilityBenefit, and changes to education

Cutting disability benefits won't just trim budgets—it'll push 700,000 families already in poverty even deeper.
This is state-sanctioned neglect.
#DisabilityBenefit #UKGovernment #PovertyCrisis

Ultimately, in the 6th richest economy, absolutely NO-ONE should HAVE to use food banks. The fact that the numbers needing to use food banks is rising is a huge indictment of the type of 'leaders' we have/have had in this country. #TaxTheRichNOTthePoor #WelfareNOTWarfare #DisabilityBenefit

👏👏👏. I do hope many many more MPs will rebel against this cruel, sadistic proposed policy. I will rebel if they cut my disability benefit I can assure you! #WelfareNotWarfare #DisabilityRebellion #DisabilityBenefit #StarmerOUT

Petition: Do not scrap the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) The Government must immediately withdraw the proposal to scrap the WCA, as detailed in its Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper.

Dear all, don’t let the #UKGovernment get away with pushing #DisabilityBenefit cuts by silencing #DisabledPeople voices. Please stand in solidarity and sign this petition. #WCA #PIP #welfarenotwarfare #DisabilityRights #DisabilityInclusion #MentalHealth #UK
