			:'''''Note''': The Health Professions Act (HPA), which currently governs health professionals and regulatory colleges, will be replaced by the Health Professions and Occupations Act (HPOA) on April 1, 2026 (see [https://www.bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document/id/oic/oic_cur/0375_2025 OIC 375/2025]). The changes will streamline how health professions are regulated. As a result, some definitions, including who is a “prescribed professional” under the EAPDR and who is a “health professional” under the EAR, will be changed. Students should check the regulations for updates.

Disability Alliance BC has a useful help sheet regarding the monthly nutritional supplement, at http://disabilityalliancebc.org/category/publications/help-~~sheets/.~~

	As of ~~July 1, 2019, registered dieticians are added as health professionals~~ who ~~can confirm someone’s need for diet supplements, short term nutritional supplements, infant formula supplement, and the monthly nutritional supplement~~. ~~Prior to this change~~, ~~eligibility for most diet and nutrition related supplements could only~~ be ~~confirmed by~~ medical ~~practitioners~~ or ~~nurse practitioners. In order to be considered~~ a ~~“registered dietician~~,” a ~~dietician must~~ be ~~a “registrant of~~ the ~~College~~ of ~~Dieticians of BC established under~~ the ~~Health Professions Act~~.~~” Effective August 1, 2023,~~ a ~~midwife registered with~~ the ~~British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives can also confirm a child’s eligibility for infant formula~~ supplement.		:'''NOTE:''' A “monthly nutritional supplement” of up to $225 per month may be available to some people with the PWD designation who receive disability assistance. To qualify, there must be medical confirmation that the person requires the vitamins and minerals and/or caloric supplementation t for a "chronic, progressive deterioration of health on account of a severe medical condition". It can be very hard to meet the requirements for this supplement.
