Mike, my adult interdependent partner, is severely handicapped. I heard that the provisions for AISH (Assured Income for the Severely Handicapped) have been changed to allow for benefits to an adult interdependent partner. Is this right?

Back to Top

Yes. The law that sets out the provisions for AISH now states that benefits available to a spouse of a severely handicapped person are now also available to the cohabiting partner of that person. A cohabiting partner includes someone who is an adult interdependent partner. The income and assets of the cohabiting partner will be taken into account in financial testing.
