Mr. Matt McCann:

I can speak to a similar situation as Mr. Hennessy's. I know that when I speak to disabled entrepreneurs who are in the same situation as I am, we are in this weird scenario where we are almost scared to start a business because we know the disability allowance, in my case, would just be taken away, and there is no step-down situation or safety net in that sense. This leads to an extra level of stress when trying to set up a business. Before the business is able to provide support, one's own supports would be taken away.

Similar to Mr. Hennessy's situation, with all the different grants that were available, a lot of them just did not really apply to me and I could not find ways to identify those supports. I echo Mr. Hennessy in that I faced the exact same challenges. There is that lack of flexibility in understanding that everyone's situation is different.
