Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) kept thousands of dollars in funding from grandparents who needed the money to help care for their grandchild, a new report has found. Through an "unjust" funding model, the money intended to help the Taylors ended up in the province's bank account. They successfully applied for the Child Disability Benefit, which offers roughly $242 each month to caregivers of children and teenagers with severe disabilities. So, the federal Child Disability Benefit was paid out to support the province ⁠— not the grandparents. "In failing to pass these benefits on to the Taylors, the ministry benefits from Jesse's disability designation," the report read.
