APPEAL# I PART C -Decision under Appeal The decision under appeal is the Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation (Ministry) reconsideration decision dated September 11, 2014 in which the Ministry denied the Appellant's request for September 2014 disability assistance because he received Employment Insurance (El) benefits in excess of the disability assistance rate for which he would otherwise be eligible. The Ministry determined that El in the amount of $1,952.00 should be deducted from the Appellant's disability assistance because El is considered unearned income under the Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Regulation and no exemptions apply. PART D -Relevant Legislation Employment and Assistance for Persons with Disabilities Regulation (EAPWDR): Sections 1, 9, and 24; Schedule A; and Schedule B
