Canada increases disability benefits

 

 

Ottawa: The government has increased the amount of the Canada Disability Benefit (CDB) for eligible people with disabilities in Canada. As part of the annual indexation for the 2026-27 benefit year, the monthly maximum benefit has increased from $200 to $204.20.

The first payment at the revised rate will be directly deposited into the bank accounts of eligible beneficiaries starting July 16. This will increase the annual maximum benefit to $2,450.40.

The amount received will vary depending on each person's family income, eligibility criteria and other financial factors. The Canada Disability Benefit program is implemented to provide financial support to eligible people with disabilities who are of working age.
