In the part of Canada where I live it is called AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped). It pays about $1500/mth in Canadian dollars. I was on it for a while back in the 1990s.

SSDI amount depends on how much and how long you’ve worked to pay into the system. SSI is based on need and can be considerably less than SSDI. But yes I get SSDI. It’s around $900+ a month.

I get around $700.00 a month for my SSI. Of course I can get benefits like food stamps and low rent housing, which are based on need and income.

I get £750 a month here in England. But their cracking down on fraud and people that can work with schizophrenia. I…myself, cannot work. They are assessing my condition right now to see if I’m worthy of my money. I think I should be fine though (I hope), because working with schizophrenia is torment, imo. I’ve had this income for about 15yrs. Yes, the money really does help me out A LOT! And I’m very thankful.
