I am not looking for advice. I do not like putting this up top but I have been going through every channel available to me where I live. I assure you that everything even a little bit associated with social assistance programs is something I have already explored.

Yesterday I found out that I am no longer receiving disability payments. As in immediately. As in I do not get paid at the start of next month.

Apparently they've been sending me money for the past 28 months in fucking error. You know, a little error of $1300 for 28 months. They accidentally sent me over $36,000 over the course of nearly 2.5 years for 28 months, went "whoopsie doodle!" and sent me a letter saying "yeah okay, so we're gonna stop doing that." This has left me in a lurch that I don't think should be fucking legal, but after doing what due diligence I can in a ruined emotional state, it turns out it is.

Worse yet, they want that $36,400 back.

Right now I have about $95 in the bank. My rent is $725 a month. My electricity is $75 a month. My heating bill is $40 a month. My internet is $85 a month. I don't even know what my food budget is per month because my answer is basically always "the rest I guess" because everything else goes either to that or whatever incidental costs come up. I am expected to pay the government $36,400.

What I've done so far is the equivalent of putting a bandaid on a bisected body. I've cancelled things like my select few patreon pledges, things like xbox live, whatever I can that I can actually do, but that's going to save me maybe $40 a month when I am in desperate need of $1000 just to make ends meet. I hate asking for money and I hate how often I have, but now I'm in the most desperate situation I've been in since I had to move between provinces in the first place.
