To the Honorable Ms.Jablonski, The lack of cost of living increase for those receiving benefits for people with handicaps and those not able to work are keeping vulnerable Albertan's below the poverty level, while cost of living increases, the support for the disabled does not, it should be examined annually to prevent the poverty cycle in one of the richest provinces in Canada.

Reaching this level of support shows I am not the only one exhausted by the silence regarding our situation. It is grueling to keep pushing when the cost of living keeps rising against us but seeing this momentum gives me the grit to keep going.

I agree that that AISH should be adjusted on a regular basis for the special people in our society. By the time rent and groceries are paid there is very little left for them to live on.

Please consider increasing the AISH monthly payments to better support those in the vulnerable sector! Thank you! Sincerely, Vivian Williamson ( concerned mother of 3 students who may require this assistance & a sister barely managing on it currently)

The amount of AISH i receive does not allow me to have a very prosperous life! Day to day living and nothing to save!

I would like to be able to save up some money but can't with the little amount we get! Rent is expensive, and all the other daily things we need! Try and get our civilization to feel comfortable and not in a suicide state at times please!

It is impossible to live on only $1588 a month when rent is $1025 per month for substandard living. It is absolutely vital that the Government do more to improve Albertans quality of life by increasing the current AISH benefit amount every single year. Once every 5 years isn't acceptable as the cost of living goes up more often than that.

Yes Aish does need to go up. 1588 is not enough to live on when you live in townhouses with rent of 1200 a month plus plus groceries on top so yes Aish need to go up
