Bus-pass clawback adds insult to injury

Re: “Disability benefits cut by bus-pass expense,” Aug. 30. I am one of those struggling to exist on the B.C. disability allowance.

I am one of those struggling to exist on the B.C. disability allowance. The insult of having to exist on the allowance is even worse as my disability was caused by an injury while working for the provincial government.

I, too, received the “generous” increase and have had the $52 taken from me. They have still not sent me my new bus pass, which I will need on Sept. 1.

About all one can say is that once again, the provincial government has failed me.
