Lunchtime talk: The effects of inheritance on disability benefits

If a person receiving government disability benefits receives an inheritance, should he or she be disqualified from government support until the estate has been completely depleted? Why does either answer make us feel uneasy? Francie Gow (Law III) will discuss the divergent approaches of Ontario and Alberta and the distributive justice issues underlying them. Talk starts at 1:15 p.m. to give attendees time to heat up their lunches. Free pitas and hummus provided by Disability and the Law.
