the long-awaited Canada Disability Benefit will start in a few months. It is only $200/month but that would certainly make a helpful supplement to the approx $1800 / month available on AISH. So many AISH recipients are struggling these days with utilities, rent, transportation costs

EXCEPT Minister Jason Nixon has announced that Alberta will consider the Federal benefit as "income" which will be clawed back from the AISH recipient if they receive it.

I am disgusted how this government treats the most vulnerable of Albertans
