when i stopped last, iexplained that the feds back dated my pension i received a cheque for i think 8 months adding up to about $4600 and the very day it arrived ontario works calls and says you must sign over that cheque to which i ask housing has found a place for meand how do i pay my rent my hydro deposit, my rogers deposit,and my bell canada deposit plus find furniture as well as kitchen equipment. u forgot to mention eating for the month!!!
the response was well your getting $799 as a start up,what a joke. what they dont tell you is your better off to keep that cheque and end up paying it back monthly. in 2004 i kept the cheque and by september 2010 it will be repaid thank heavon after that it means $42 extra for me every month.
i got lucky with housing as housing found me a handicaped apartment after only 4 months on the waiting list, normally you wait up to 24 to30 months. the next break i got was moving into a new buildyng on the first floor with a patio. you have to know here in this region most of the buildings are between 30 and 50 years old with almost little or no wheelchair access. thats it for now, dont be afraid to send me your comments.
