Reinstate the Special Diet Allowance in Ontario Canada

This petition was published by Nancy Monnell on Jul 20, 2010

WE, THE UNDERSIGNED, hereby respectfully request the Ontario Legislative Assembly, the Ministry of Community and Social Services, the Ontario Disability Support Program and/or Ontario Works as well as any and all associated groups, organizations and/or individuals, to reinstate the Special Diet Allowance effectively immediately.

The Special Diet Allowance is used to enable us to buy the foods we are required to have in order to achieve optimum health. At present, the majority of us that must exist on Ontario Disability Support Program and/or Ontario Works regular monthly benefits, cannot afford the fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, milk or even particular required supplements on an ongoing, consistent basis without this Special Diet Allowance.

We also respectfully request at this time that the Ontario Legislative Assembly, the Ministry of Community and Social Services, the Ontario Disability Support Program, and/or Ontario Works, regular monthly benefit rates be raised to reflect the true cost of living and be increased accordingly on an annual basis so that we are able to maintain optimum health and afford the necessities of life that our conditions require.
