Linda McNeils

Linda McNeils: But the part-time cook works only about 10 hours a month, because for every dollar she earns, she loses 50 cents off her monthly $1,075 Ontario Disability Support Program ODSP cheque, according to The Star. Starting this month, however, people on social assistance will be able to keep the first $200 they earn before triggering welfare claw-backs and Linda McNeils passion is food. Its really not worth it, says the 46-year-old self-professed Jill of all trades. She was forced onto welfare in 2009 due to a rare auto-immune disease. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
