minus-square@Krudler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish19•edit-29 months agoThere’s a difference between disability paid as income assistance from government services, and disability from private insurance. Even at the maximum disability allowance, you get about $15.50 a DAY.
minus-squarePolarlinkfedilinkEnglish7•edit-29 months agoIn Ontario, disability gets you $1200 per month if you are lucky and max out everything. Most people get $800-900. For one person on disability, you get $497 for rent. You wont even find a ROOM for $497. Tell me where you can even rent and pay utilities for less, let alone groceries, clothes, etc.
