"I was extremely frustrated to see that … even though the CPP benefit had only increased by about $35, the province had the audacity to claw it back," he said. Every January, the CPP benefit increases or decreases based on inflation. When the province is determining assistance benefits, it factors in other income, including the CPP disability benefit. About 10 per cent of those on provincial disability benefits also receive CPP benefits, said the province's spokesperson. But Yarush says the moral thing for the NDP government to do would be to stop clawing back the CPP increase.
