Can we also PLEASE talk about the failures of the charity— sorry, "non-profit"— model of disability? There aren't too many orgs which especially multiply marginalized disabled ppl trust to represent them, & this would be a PERFECT example of why. This org reps me at the UN.🙃

Oh and by the way, this is the experience of someone who is *already* provincially (PWD in BC) and federally (CPP-Disability) verified as disabled. I CAN NOT access the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit without being referred by a govt. funded organization to be exploited? Come ON now.

I just want access to the #CanadaDisabilityBenefit b/c I'm struggling on disability esp. w/CPP clawbacks, and I basically got scammed. A LOT of work went into exposing this. This work derailed a lot of things in my life if anyone kindly wants to help.

I contacted Inclusion Canada repeatedly with my concerns and was told in writing that they didn't vet the company I was recommended. And despite detailing my concerns about how others might be harmed, none of their solutions which were offered to me included warning other people.

Despite receiving HUGE amounts of govt. funding to provide these services, these benefits navigators seem to have omitted looking into the CUSTOMER (why are we paying at all?) experiences their clients had. All of these orgs may be doing the same thing:
