BC Government boosts monthly disability assistance, adds $52 monthly bus pass
NANAIMO — The BC government is boosting the monthly disability assistance rate by $77 as of September 1st.
According to the province it’s $25 more in assistance rates and a $52 a month transportation allowance.
Users can get that allowance in the form of a cash payment or a BC Bus Pass.
