BC's provincial disability rates are far below the poverty line, while claw backs on extra income keep persons with disabilities from getting ahead.
This has been the case far too long, and it's time that changed.
Complete the form below asking for your MLA, Premier Eby, and the Minister of Social Development and Poverty Reduction to commit to action. Your message will be sent directly to them.
That means increasing PWD rates to at least $2100 monthly to meet the low-income classification for a single adult, and removing damaging claw backs and spousal caps.
Thank you for raising your voice; change is long overdue.
