worker benefits from the disability insurance programme. a vast majority is an increase in working ages, women working more, becoming wonderfully more insured, able to get benefits, and finally a couple of other its which is the increased retirement age, which means people get disability benefits for an extra year, and finally, of course, the recession at the end of seven which gave us a bit of an increase in the number of benefits. >> strictly speaking, just a recession shouldn't mean that people are less able to work. are people who felt that they were on the bubble. who had physical maladies, that if there was a job around they may have kept on working, instead reply for benefits. >> there is some of that. the way i think of this, if ray is running a business and steve is not doing well, but the orders are coming in fast and furious more than he can handle, he may keep me on beyond a point where i'm productive. if a recession comes on and he lays me off, i may not get back in the workforce. >> have the rules about disability and what you

we met with the mayor's office on disability and the mayor's disability on council were in attendance as well and members of the public. these were some of the highlights from that meeting. we had a presentation by brenda mass skin and dr. nerven from the homeless outreach team which we usually abbreviate as the hot team. the hot team is a program with the department of public health. the hot teams role is to assist people with disabilities during a disaster. brenda and dr. neville started to address the hot teams mission and by reconstructing service. the hot team is a group who would address everything about the homeless including medical intervention, when someone was ill on the streets. intervention case management and transportation to shelters and health care and transition to supportive housing to stabilization rooms. under the new reconstruction, the hot team now focuses on the highest users of emergency services. and the people who are the most vulnerable. this is only a subset of the homeless population as a whole. important to keep on training shelters workers to help them

so, pain is a feature of disability but pain is not a necessary component of disability. so, if i were to say, 400,000 people, another person might say, well, that's 400,000 only encompasses pain as sayingents feature of disable. ... >> the degree of pain you're experiencing is highly subjective, it's very personal. you and i may be experiencing the same pain but you may tolerate it differently than i do. and it's these questions of intersubjective understanding, trust, believability that inevitably intersect with the broader judgments about who's in pain and how much we should believe them and how much relief they deserve. so the numbers of people on disability vary across time. unquestionably, it is rising dramatically in the 1950s -- since the establishment of social security disability benefits, pain does become a reason why people seek disability in the 1960s. in some ways pain is seen as one of the, one of the ways in which the disability system grows in the 1960s and 1970s. it's a vexed question that you just asked. it's historically vexed and it's still vexed toda

in the past all our home-delivered meal providers that serve adults with disability only provide one meal a date and that's been really difficult for many of these clients because they are so low income and in need of food. so, with this, we are able to actually make it more cost efficient, provide two meals a day to these clients. those clients that maybe don't necessarily eat two meals a day they can be served by the otsd home delivery meal provider that serves this population. so this gives us greater flexibility to meet the needs in the community. are there any questions? >> commissioner. >> is it 7 days. >> 7 days a week. >> so before this addition they were 5 days. >> they were still 7 days a week. >> but it was only one meal and now it's two meals. >> which meal is the most costly? lunch? >> when they negotiate that with the caterer and all that they take the whole package into consideration. the meal actually is very diverse. it has, you know, different types of food, ethnickally and also depending on the client if they are able to reheat food because they have a microwaive a

this is about 14,000 meals annually serving another 265 adults with disability. the third program we are increasing is the home delivery of service to seniors and we're increasing this by 24 percent. in terms of meals this represents close to 280,000 meals a year, serving another 400 unduplicated consumers. and the other program is also expanding our home delivery meals to adults with disability, increasing that by 71 percent, which represents a little over 69,000 meals a day, serving an additional 140 unduplicated seniors. last but not least we are significantly expanding our home delivery groceries program. home delivery groceries is basically providing supplemental food to an adult with disability or senior that's low income with a grocery bag that's usually worth, if it's serving one to two people, the bag is about $30 value, market value, and includes of course fresh fruits and vegetables, staple items like bread, grain, pasta, rice, also protein items. this program we are actually, when i say significantly increasing it, we are adding a little over half a m
