        yes i've heard about even trying to get on it... when i was much less stable (outwardly, at least), i considered it, and my friends on disability started describing the process and i was like "oh god that is so horrible and degrading" ... i'm not going to traumadump here, but i hope it works out for them

      you need to make 2x the disability amount before you can even make a cent

      what-the-hell I live in Alberta and even here there’s a slope so that you always have more money the more you earn, they don’t just count everything against your payments. I didn’t think it was possible to get less progressive than Alberta in Canada

        huh, yeah i'm looking it up now for my place, and it seems like there is an amount you can make before they take it, so maybe i misunderstood? wonder if i misunderstood my friend then... (i am really really bad at math)

          It may be that the slope is steep so that they get relatively little extra for hard they work, or that it’s a staggered system instead of a linear slope so if they earn like a dollar over a threshold they get their payments cut
