The year-long persons with disabilities designation review process is complete and the vast majority of cases reviewed are eligible under the new criteria. The Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Act took effect on September 30, 2002 and eligibility of all persons receiving disability benefits in BC was to be reviewed under the new criteria. In an article for The Georgia Straight's Bill Tielman suggests the Minister should resign and an article by David Shreck reports the review as costing 3 times the savings. The BC government's press release has their perspective regarding the review.
