People with disabilities ask feds to restore hope’ and raise benefit amount.

Canada Disability Benefit , which takes effect next July , is meant as a top-up to existing provincial income supports.

Advocates are asking the federal government to reconsider the amount in the months before the benefit rolls out.

The Canada Disability Benefit is a $6.1-billion investment to improve the financial security of 600,000 people with disabilities.

People with disabilities would get a total monthly income equal to what low-income seniors get from the federal government.

“A lot of people don’t see us as human,” they said. ”We’re worth investing in.”.
