Long-awaited one-time disability payment to be distributed Friday

The government anticipates close to 1.6 million Canadians will receive the tax-free payment of up to $600, which they say will help offset additional costs incurred over the last several months such as grocery delivery, travel, medication, and personal protective equipment.

The NDP’s Employment, Workforce Development and Disability Inclusion critic Daniel Blaikie says he fears support won’t get out to those who need it most because they don’t know how to apply or don’t have access to a medical practitioner -- necessary for the completion of the DTC application.

Nope because she did not qualify when I applied

The majority of Canadians on disability will be receiving zippo nothing. You have to practically dead to qualify for the DTC. Shameful really. disabilitytaxcredit poverty

Guess we will believe it when we see it

and still will never vote libs.

Hopefully children who have Autism and already recieve the disability tax credit will get the one time payment too.

8 months into the pandemic. 600 bucks. Too little, too late. And it's still more than every province except BC has done. Better hope you never get a disability folks, because all governments will treat you like you're worthless.

I’ll believe it when I see it in my bank account.

That didn't take tooooo long 🙄

Too bad that a majority of disabled will not be getting anything

got my today with odsp.

Foreign students cashed in long ago. That's right....foreign students.

600 dollars one time payment is a slap in the face to all persons living in poverty because of disabilities. Regularly I receive 739.00 mth These crumbs will do little to lower the stress filled state my life has become

The billions spent on refugees is more important to the liberal government than struggling Canadians.

Friends and family first with the Trudeau gov’t.

This is pathetically inadequate, it’s a damn insult, the Trudeau government literally is rubbing our face in it. But make damn sure this banks get their millions months ago.

ODSP patients also incure the same cost as any group named on this government statement cndpoli and these disabled individuals are not part of these payments which Injustice fordnation JustinTrudeau

Despicable scum. Imagine, and my heart goes out to those who are living it, you being in this unenviable position and then being treated this way by your govt. The day of reckoning is coming. Low-life in govt, MSM and 'public health' will be answering for this. No quarter given.

Nothing for seniors that still are enduring hardships with this pandemic JustinTrudeau

$600. It's paltry. That wouldn't even cover 7 months worth of wipes, lysol and grocery delivery.

Just got my at 10:30am edt with odsp. $600 cdnpoli

I don’t have a disability but for those who do I hope this helps🙏🏻🙏🏻
