People with disabilities have options to get financial help from the government. Learn about the government programs available, and where you can turn to get help and find more information.
===The government turned down my application for disability assistance. Can I challenge it?===
Yes. If the BC Ministry of Social Development & Poverty Reduction denies you disability assistance or reduces your benefits, you have the right to challenge their decision. See our information on [[Income Assistance: Reconsiderations and Appeals (Script No. 288)|reconsiderations and appeals of income assistance, no. 288]].
===A warrant is out for my arrest. Can I get disability assistance?===
Not if you have an outstanding arrest warrant for an indictable or hybrid offence anywhere in Canada. If you do, you cannot get income or disability assistance in BC. You must first do something about the warrant. See our information on [[Outstanding Warrants and Welfare (Script No. 204)|outstanding warrants and welfare, no. 204]].
==Get help==
The '''Canadian government''' offers a [http://www.canadabenefits.gc.ca Benefits Finder at canadabenefits.gc.ca] that asks several questions about your situation and gives a list of possible government benefit programs, with links to more information.
