Province starts cuts to income for disability program
Some recipients of social assistance in Saskatchewan are beginning to receive letters informing them of how much they will lose following budget cuts.
In the budget, the government announced it will be making changes to several programs to create fairness and increase equity for those receiving help.
The biggest change is to the Saskatchewan Assured Income for Disability (SAID) program, of which Brad Cavanaugh is a recipient.
He has been unable to work due to back issues and a slip at work that exacerbated the problem.
