_ VICTORIA (CP) —

Handicapped: persons and their

families who receive social assistance will be given an
‘additional $20 a month from the provincial government
effective-July 1, Human Resources Minister Bill Vander

Zalm said Thursday.

The minister said in a news release that the new rates
bring the basic benefits for a single recipient af assistance
to $265 a month and increase the rate_for a family | of four ~

to $655 from $635.

Vander Zalm said thei increase will affect more than 11,-
000 people and is expected to cost more than $2 million for
the nine-month period od the fiscal year 1978-79.

He noted that both single and family recipients of the
handceapped assistance also receive special rental
subsidies, pharmacare and medical benefits.

The last change to handicapped assistance came last
dJuly:-when single. recipients were given a housing
allowance of up to $57 a month and families were given an
across-theboar d$50-a-month increase. A free homemaker
service was also set up last summer, .
