Disability Without Poverty (DWP) began when advocates across the country came together to work on eliminating disability poverty. Their work was immediately focussed on the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) introduced in the 2020 Throne Speech. Through DWP’s numerous petitions, open letters, Op-Eds, rallies, partnerships and non-partisan efforts, the CDB reached unanimous Royal Assent in June 2023. Our work continues in order to ensure that the CDB is a benefit that actually benefits people with disabilities by lifting them out of poverty.
