Interested in shaping the Canada Disability Benefit? Now is YOUR chance!

We want you to have a say in the Canada Disability Benefit regulations as the Government of Canada is consulting Canadians on the new Canada Disability Benefit. You are invited to share your thoughts on benefit details, such as eligibility and benefit amount, which will help inform the development of the regulations for the Canada Disability Benefit.

Your feedback will help inform the development of regulations for the Canada Disability Benefit. Your answers are confidential. No personal information will be collected or reported. Do not include any personal information (name, given name, date of birth, etc.). A summary of all the feedback received will be included in a report on the regulatory engagement process, which will be tabled in Parliament and published on the Employment and Social Development Canada website.

The deadline has been extended until January 4, 2024 at 23:59 (Eastern Time) for you to provide your feedback, through the various methods below.
