Petition e-7573 (Social affairs and equality)

This petition is related to issues facing disabed Canadians involving age cut off and may have interest to some members.
Whereas:

  • Canadians with disabilities face systemic poverty and higher living costs that do not disappear at retirement age;
  • At age 65, Canada Pension Plan Disability (CPP-D) automatically converts to a standard CPP Retirement Pension, causing the immediate loss of the $610.46 monthly flat-rate base component;

I literally said this to my Husband last night. Then there should be a supplemental amount added if the person had a disability prior to 65 especially if they received CPP-D before. IMHO.
