Disability rate increase cancels out transit clawback

Nelson-Creston MLA Michelle Mungall is hailing an increase to disability rates in BC as a small victory.

Mungall says the monthly $50 bump is equal to last year’s transit pass clawback.

The government didn’t announce it that way but she says there’s no doubt it’s in response to the outcry.

Mungall says despite the increase people with disabilities are still struggling to get by.

She’ll re-introduce the NDP’s poverty reduction plan next week in the legislature.
