Introduction
The Canada Disability Benefit introduced to fight disability-related poverty lacks
sufficient design that produces adequate results. The Maytree article (2024), "Why the
Canada Disability Benefit Won't End Disability Poverty, and How It Could," analyses the
policy through an evaluative lens while demonstrating the system-level obstacles that make it
ineffective. The Canada Disability Benefit remains an essential progress in disability poverty
relief. Its operational limitations arise from insufficient funding allocations and narrow
eligibility boundaries, which do not adequately match existing provincial programming.
Problems with implementing the benefit create substantial doubts about its ability to secure
financial stability and social inclusion opportunities for disabled individuals.
The research investigates the Canadian Disability Benefit (CDB) from multiple
theoretical perspectives while studying essential arguments regarding disability justice and
surveying relevant policy issues and ethical matters for social work practice. This paper's
analysis expands the comprehension of social policy reforms that establish genuine equity
and justice practices for people with disabilities.
The Understanding of Disability and Its Relation to Justice Has Undergone
Transformation.
I initially thought that monetary aid would directly enhance the life quality of people
with disabilities until I started this analysis. Exposure to disability justice frameworks showed
me that financial help is not enough to solve disability issues when there are structural
barriers, including discrimination at work, accessibility to health care, and social prejudices
against people with disabilities. People disabled by life circumstances show that financial
support, while vital, still fails to eliminate the fundamental obstacles which continue driving
marginalised situations. Economic justice requires disabled individuals to implement various
