Disability benefits aren’t just about money—they’re about survival, independence, and dignity. As governments adjust policies in 2025, here are three quick facts everyone should know:
1. Policy Changes Have Real-Life Consequences
When programs are cut or tightened, it doesn’t just reduce monthly income. It can mean losing access to safe housing, reliable healthcare, or the ability to work. For many disabled people, one policy shift can trigger a chain reaction across their entire life.
2. The Cost of Living Gap is Growing
Disabled people already face extra costs—from mobility devices to personal care to accessible transportation. Benefits that don’t keep up with inflation mean falling further behind, leaving many forced to choose between essentials.
3. Advocacy Makes a Difference
Every complaint filed, every story shared, and every petition signed matters. Disability rights movements in both the U.S. and Canada have successfully pushed back against harmful policy changes in the past—and they continue to do so in 2025.
