Albertans Struggle as Disability Payments Stall | Calgary News
from Calgary News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Thousands of Albertans on disability benefits are still grappling with devastating payment delays caused by a technical glitch affecting AISH and ADAP — with some recipients reporting weeks without correct payments. One woman, disabled since 2001 due to heart disease, saw her benefit slashed, triggering hospitalization and the need for a feeding tube. Others face eviction as basic needs go unmet, exposing how critical these programs are for vulnerable lives. Officials say they’re handling cases individually, but confusion persists over promised transition payments and a lack of clear communication. The opposition blames arbitrary criteria and calls for stronger protections and accessibility laws — while thousands remain in limbo, waiting for answers.
