I had an extremely upsetting conversation with this person about 17:00 yesterday.
I had written Revenu Quebec about the Shelter Allowance problem and the woman, after ringing my room about three full times separately in a small amount of time (I was unable to answer and heard it all three times), proclaimed that not only do I not qualify for this subsidy I was not entitled to receive the Solidarity Tax credit as well. In other words I would be receiving a lot less and would have to pay extra money to boot.
Now this is an enormous amount of money. We are talking about twenty percent of the money that I live off of.
I tried to explain that I have a chartered accountant and that the rent is more than 1/3 of my living expenses but she insisted in saying the same thing. Not only that, she called me late at the end of the day and gave the bad news with absolutely no concern about my personal distress or feelings.
People like this scare the hell out of me
