The benefit could add $200 a month for people struggling. But the UCP government will deduct it from its own support.

While not perfect BC has PWD, if you qualify you get some cash toward housing (not enough in BC market) and a monthly cheque. Plus dental, medicine, therapy, etc is covered. The only stupid part is the coverage plan won't tell you what or how much is covered up front, you have to have the service provider bill for the service and get payment...and hope it falls under a covered service.

Zero coverage in Nova Scotia unless you are in care permanently or need care permanently. Then there is a housing supplement. I have CPP disability. The feds are responsible for my sole income. I don't even qualify for emergency welfare because that limit is set provincially and is a yearly family income of $14,000 and my wife has an income thankfully. Our province is a shithole but the feds are no better.
