The CDB Diet isn’t real.
It’s the reality of the Canada Disability Benefit.
Even with up to $200 a month, Canadians with disabilities are struggling to afford food.
The newly introduced Canada Disability Benefit is a significant step forward in addressing poverty and food insecurity among adults with disabilities. But in its current form, it falls short of meeting even the most basic needs.
No one should have to rely on food banks or choose between groceries, rent, and medication. That’s why we’re calling for the benefit to be increased so it provides enough support for people with disabilities to live a life of dignity.
