Dear @cafreeland, let me save you four years, at least a thousand lives and $12,000,000 in 6 tweets or less.

Your going to commit $12,000,000 for discussions on how to include the most people possible and what to provide in a #Canada #disability benefit. It REALLY is #simple 1/6

In fact, it's SO simple that I'm using up extra words in my promised six tweets or less to highlight JUST how easy it is.

YOU'RE going to ask around, maybe get.. 200 or 300 opinions.. 80% will be from organizations. 70% of those will kiss your ass. half of the individuals 2/6

you ask will ask an opinion from, will ask for so much because they've had so little (for SO LONG) you'll discount them anyways. Here is what you need to do and how to do it. The next three tweets are simple. it's "How to do it" and "What to give" 3/6 #PWD #ODSP #SAID #AISH #CPPD

How - DTC, #CPPD & Vets are automatically in, they're federal, you have the channel.

Yearly Income tax package to include a new box
"Do you currently actively receive provincial disability assistance ?"
person checks yes
"If yes please attach a copy of your latest statement" 4/6

What to give ?
easy.
The Formula is this.
$24,000 (OR COL if greater then #Cerb pending region) - Yearly Disability income - (-20% earned income if app) = Yearly total Divided by 12 monthly payments + Index for inflation.

Set as non-taxable, non-clawback payment.
5/6

couples, same formula works
$24,000/COL turns to $48,000 (or COLx2)

- Yearly #disability income
- 20% of earned income if applicable
(provinces already claw back 50%)
= total.
total divided by two people to pay, divided by 12 monthly payments (this helps #abuse victims too) 6/6
