S4 E. 45 Pushing Disabled Bodies to the Breaking Point | Disability Advocacy LIVE!

Just get a job. That's what our provincial government loves to tell everyone struggling to survive on inadequate, poverty-level Disability Income Assistance.Unfortunately, 'Working like a dog' is an all-too-familiar reality for people with disabilities who are often forced to deal with chronic illness & pain on a daily basis.Just as one dog year is the equivalent of 7 human years, one year of on-the-job work is like 7 years of strain and added wear & tear for the body of a disabled person.A job can be great, financially...but you pay a heavy price on your health, afterwards. A job can be good for a while, but the grind can soon become difficult...or even physically impossible. It's a simple universal truth that a person's disability can be extremely unforgiving and hit back hard when pushed beyond its limits.If only our politicians understood how hard it is to have a disabled body. Just get a job, they say. If only politicians had the lived experience of disability, they might begin to think or act different. Perhaps even raise monthly Disability Income Assistance to a respectable, liveable income?PWD Allies podcast airs every week on YouTube, hosted by Brent Frain.
