Nods. There's no way to apply for #AISH without also applying for #CPPD, and if eligible for the latter, #Alberta deducts dollar-for-dollar whatever the CPPD amount is.

It is always delightful to see CPPD adjust upwards for inflation, and then AISH deduct that much more for net zero increase. 🙄😡

I have no doubt that my inability to prevent myself from babbling when I am over-tired has annoyed folks from time to time.

I'm very thankful for those that listen.
