No way to treat an old man

I received a letter from the provincial government last month informing me that as I was six months from my 60th birthday i had to submit information about my eligibility for a federal pension.It was not quite that polite as it threatened my check if I didn't comply.This means they threatened a near 60 year old man with multiple barriers(health problems)with zero money.To say this was stressful would be an understatement.So I managed to get the paperwork together and take it into the office and what was their response?I just received another letter threatening my check if I don't apply for said pension before the next check.As I said I am on disability and have a lot of trouble getting around.Some days are better than others but gathering all this is a lot of trouble and the result will be that my pension,when I am forced to count on it,will be reduced.I don't understand the need to threaten someone with financial ruin if they want something done.I have been prompt with all my paperwork since being put on disability.I do admit to having some difficulty when I had to live on $500 a month as I never had bus fare after the first week.Since then I am always early with everything I have to do as there is no necessity to do something to add to my income daily.I have been turned down twice for extra assistance for supplements in spite of meeting every requirement with the exception of threat of immediate death.That is the reason for the rejection,no threat of sudden death.I have been on a list for a pain clinic as that is the only way I can receive the care I need.It is very painful for me to be on my feet for more that 15 mins.My condition leaves me very vulnerable to stress and prone to panic attacks,which are very unpleasant and scary.I am very grateful that there is a system that takes care of people like myself who have a limited work history and are totally unfit for any job.That doesn't say I condone the way people on assistance are treated.I see no need to threaten a persons security for any reason.To do it so that the government can force me to apply for an early pension at a reduced rate is really sick.Are they so desperate for a hundred dollars a month?I have been without teeth for over three years because the dental coverage is a joke.I had three teeth pulled and found out that that was all the dental coverage I qualified for for two years.I have been in chronic and terrible pain since 2003.I have no idea how long I have to wait as no-one can tell me.I suppose I should be grateful as the way I am being treated I will probably have a shortened lifespan so I won't have to worry about what kind of future I will have.At least I am not living on the sidewalk yet and am able to eat once a day.As long as I can complete an application for an early pension that is.Otherwise i will have to learn to suck air and live in the park.
