I thought how he acted was unnecessary. I mean, I understand our system is overloaded and he may be frustrated but I am a human being who feels badly enough about having to ask for help in the first place, and i think I deserve a little bit of tact and I also think I should be treated with dignity. It wasn't as if I was witholding information or working against him - in fact I even said if there is anything you need id be happy to try and get it.

he said that I am right on the line for medical coverage. I get 724.00 a month from EI and apparently that is too much, even if I am labelled completely disabled. Around here they allot 285.00 a month for rent for a single person, and 190 for bills and groceries. So 475.00 a month to live off of. For disability it is a bit different, its like 535.00 for rent and 190 for bills and groceries. But, god, those are horrible amounts and I dont see how anyone could live off them. My rent alone is 370.00 now that my third roomate is gone. And to be honest, around here, thats really cheap for rent.

It really makes me sad to think that folks like me who WANT to do well keep trying and the system is set up for failure. I mean, I am not desperate or homeless yet, I know but what of all the folks who are? God...
