Maybe someone can educate me on how the AISH program works. Should I assume that the ONLY source of income or support comes from the AISH program for people of moderate to severe disability? Are AISH recipients also entitled to funding from other sources? I am assuming that someone of moderate disability can still function to a certain extent in the workforce and uses the AISH as a supplement and not as their be-all-end-all? Do others with more dramatic disabilities (unable to earn AT ALL) receive only AISH or do they also get some form of social assistance - subsidized housing, etc?
Just wondering as it would make me think that if I were to get only $1000 per month I would live a pretty bleak life.
