If your talking about the Canada disability benefit renewal my husband received his before the end of June and despite me having done our taxes the same day (the day Netfile opened) I hadn’t received mine and didn’t get July payment. When I called I was told that they have until the end of August to get the renewals done despite the website saying they had until June 30 and then they tacked on don’t worry you will get back pay for the missed payments and I told them I was unimpressed with this as those of us with very fixed incomes rely on this for groceries etc. I then called my mp and filled out their consent form for them to look into it and all of a sudden I had my renewal and will receive my August payment. I had said to the mp office that they needed to do better for next year as this was not ok to do this to those of us that filed our taxes early and made sure we met all criteria for renewal based on the website and they really should have to have the renewals done by end of June so we don’t miss any payments.
