Both the federal and provincial govts.

My Ei disability runs for 15 weeks. If I was on regular EI, it would last much longer.
So if I'm ill and unable to work, I get less help. If I were able to work and just hadn't found anything, I would get more.

Provincial Pension which I could claim will not be paid if I'm still working. Nor will it be paid with extra for disability if I am only temporarily disabled.

Is anyone following this?

I can't get Federal housing subsidy because I made too much money last year.

I can reapply for welfare but because I'm not permanently disabled, I don't get enough to live on.
Please, tell me someone is understand this, because I'm not.

So..what I need to do is either, go back to work too early and speed up the time until I truly am permanently disabled, or, get my neuro to say that I am permanently disabled and cannot return to work. I've put in a call to him.

I spoke to to the only person at the CLSC who really did anything to help. She can't do anything. Suggested that I just go back on the welfare and rely on my friends to help out. That's not only an unfair but an unreasonable suggestion. There is only so much and so long anybody has the right to ask of friends. For the short term, yeah. But for the rest of my life? Not bloody likely.

Right now, I'm so angry and frustrated that I want to spit. I'd better go eat something. I've got a headache. Damned govts. gave me a headache. I NEVER get headaches.

I'm not very good at researching because my brain doesn't do that stuff. But if the neuro can't help me, then it's time to take it public.
