A Raymond, Alta., family of eight is struggling after their Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped (AISH) was cut in half because of Workers' Compensation Board (WCB) coverage.
The family says changes to certain policies need to be made to prevent the same thing from happening to others.
They say they were informed by AISH they are unable to collect two supplementary incomes despite the current situation."Whereas, with programs like EI, you're starting new and so I don't think they should be considered the same and that's the issue with the policy." Smith says they reached out to AISH to see what could be done and were told the policies are set by the provincial and federal governments.
