Registered Disability Savings Program
The Registered Disability Savings Plan (RDSP) is a Canada-wide registered matched savings plan specific for people with disabilities. Anyone can contribute to an RDSP- family, friends, neighbours… it gives people who want to help a way to do so! The RDSP is exempt from most provincial disability and income assistance benefits. It does not get clawed back and it does not reduce disability benefits payments. https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/registered-disability-savings-plan-rdsp.html
People with disabilities can choose what to do with the money when it comes out- there are no restrictions on how the money can be spent! BCCOMPAS Registered Disability Savings Plan – Powerpoint Presentation
