Im confused here in america welfare isnt based on whether you see a treatment provider or not. its based on what your income is, whether you have children or not,....

here in america ....welfare ...is a cover all word meaning cash, food stamps and medical coverage.

some states for cash its only TANF meaning child support type cash to take care of the children, other states have their cash assistance for both adults in need based on their income and the children (TANF)

the food stamp program is nation wide based on income and number of people in the household.

medical assistance (medicaid) too in the USA goes according to how much income you have. in fact america just had to lower the income standards due to the new obama care law that says all adult american's now must have either private healthcare from their jobs or otherwise or on the state medical insurance (medicaid) program and all children in america now must have basic mental, physical and dental coverage either by way of their parents job insurance plans, private insurance or medicaid.

theres even a nationwide website here in america for people to get signed up for insurance called healthcare.gov the website will be opening up for open enrollment november 15th.

Im not totally sure but I think the only way a person is now able to be denied welfare services is if they dont meet the income requirements as in they make too much money. I have known some that got denied due to criminal activity but most I know its because they make too much money to be on it.

my suggestion if you are in the USA go to the social services department and reapply or ask for a supervisor that can do a review.
