Unsure how I got on the EDSC mailing list for the topic, but hoping the moderator will allow links related to invitation for public comment on the proposed Canada Disability Benefit. However thought this may be of interest to everyone on the forum. (Thank you, David, for starting & hosting this important site)
“We are reaching out to remind you that the proposed Canada Disability Benefit Regulations have been published in Part I of the Canada Gazette and are open for public comment. The proposed regulations detail how the Canada Disability Benefit would be administered and delivered. Along with the proposed regulations, a Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement (RIAS) has also been published for comment.“
Seems the department was slow to send the communication, as I received the email on august 14th yet publication date on website indicates nearly two months earlier…
Review the “Summary of the proposed Canada Disability Benefit Regulations”:
Details of “Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 158, Number 26: Canada Disability Benefit Regulations”
86-day consultation (until September 23, 2024 11:59pm EST)
hi, I got CPPD payment low but first time good high then now payment CPPD but I don’t know about **Disability Benefit can add? or separate?
I just wonder … I don’t hear about it … I know SASKATEWAN SAID cut last July, reason SAID rule tell me can’t have SAID disability because CPPD is payment, wow whatever they want rule. I respect. I am deaf … i stay home and no job, i have juried lots. thankyou.
“The proposed Canada Disability Benefit Regulations have been published in Part I of the Canada Gazette for public comment and will close in just two weeks, on September 23, 2024”
They’ve released the comment submissions on the draft regulations. Service Canada is supposed to be creating the 2nd of 2 applications for this abysmally low and insulting “benefit”.
It sounds like you’re wondering whether you can receive an additional disability benefit alongside your CPP-D payments. In Saskatchewan, the SAID (Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability) program generally does not allow people to receive both SAID and CPP-D, which is likely why your SAID benefits were cut.
However, you may still be eligible for other provincial or federal support programs depending on your situation. Since you are deaf and unable to work, you might want to check if there are other assistance programs available in your province, such as income support or housing benefits.
It could be helpful to speak with a disability advocate or social worker to explore any additional support you might qualify for.

Every round of endless consultations and testimony in committes and feedback portals clearance said remove barriers…then they placed it behind TWO barrier applications (DTC and one yet to be determined and announced, but will supposedly also require a medical signature). All feedback AND debate in both chambers said the amount MUST consider the MBM and disability premium in addition to it being intended to be similar to the other two poverty reduction programs (CCB and GIS), yet it’s $200 and does not bring anyone on provincial disability supports anywhere near the MBM. Speaking of the MBM, the regulations use outdated information from the 2017 Survey on Disability and the 2018 MBM when drawing the regulations-and the benefit amount doesnt meet the 2018 MBM let alone the 2023 (most recent) data with any provincial or territorial benefits. The government chose to use the outdated data despite the 2022 Survey being available publicly 7 months before the draft regulations were published.
The Canada Disability Benefit also stresses “the importance of work”, giving economic advantage to the small number of PwD with a valid T-2201, are in the workforce and have income below the clawback levels that are (again) far below the most recent understanding of the cost of the basket of goods. It further uses family income to reduce eligibility causing PwD who are economically dependent on a spouse or family member to remain in abusive situations.
This legislation was designed to help nobody, lift no one out of current poverty rates and places the punitively low benefits behind multiple barriers not encountered with CCB and GIS.
Kamal Khera says it’s “important to recognize” that this is a “first step”, but throughout the process PwD were told tome and again that they were “laser focused on getting it right the first time” to justify not creating a bridge benefit while the framework legislation took 1300 days to go from aspiration to realization.
An election is coming. Write your candidates and the parties demanding that disability benefits and rights be included as a substantive part of their campaign and then hold elected leaders to account.
357 words wasn’t enough elaboration for you? Seriously?
No, I have not said “thank you” for a Canada Disability Benefit that took almost 6 years to begin paying out, does not live up to the purpose of the Act as stated in the Act, does not lift one PwD out of poverty (the actual purpose), has diabolically low clawback income levels that are not in line with the official poverty line, is not substantively similar to the poverty reduction measures that it was intended to be modelled on, has multiple application barriers that will exclude the vast majority of the people who need it most and blatantly mocked the phrase “Nothing about us without us” when it was used repeatedly to pretend that disabled voices and vested organizations would be heard.
No, I did not say “thank you” when supports were budgeted at 10% of what Abled Canadians needed to survive before 5 years of inflationary erosion.
I did not say “thank you” for a system that makes it too easy to die and too hard to live.
Ram, please watch your tone and words.
This is supposed to be a forum of support and a place people express their concerns and shouldn’t have to worry about being bullied. If you aren’t strong enough to do that, then this isn’t the place for you.
You’ve already had one account removed from this forum.
I personally don’t understand why this account has’nt been removed either. Absolutely ridiculous! I understand people have all types of disabilities/issues but we do not have to or need to be subjected to this rubbish. The fact this person keeps telling people to get a job and “free money” and now political talking points, makes one think they are just a troll with nothing better to do. Rude, infantile and annoying.
