. I PART C -DECISION UNDER APPEAL The decision under appeal is the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction (the "ministry") reconsideration decision, dated August 23, 2018, which denied the appellant's request for a crisis supplement to cover the cost of a new furnace. Although the ministry was satisfied that the appellant did not have the funds to pay for a new furnace, the ministry was not satisfied the other requirements of section 57 of the Employment and Assistance for Persons With Disabilities Regulation (EAPWDR) were met, specifically: • The ministry was not satisfied the appellant's need for a new furnace-when the application was made in July 2018-was unexpected as the appellant had made three previous abandoned requests to the ministry for assistance with the furnace since late 2016 and the furnace had not been operational since at least April 2017;and • The ministry was not satisfied the appellant was in imminent danger as a result of the furnace not working given it was summer.

I subsection (5) is calculated by multiplying by 2 the maximum amount of disability assistance or hardship assistance that may be provided for the month under Schedule A or Schedule D to a family unit that matches the family unit. ("I:) Despite subsection (4) (b) or (5) or both, a crisis supplement may be provided to or for a family unit for the following: (a) fuel for heating; (b) fuel for cooking meals; (c) water; (d)hydro. Appellant's Position The appellant's position is that the ministry's process has not been fair; while winter is expected, it should not be expected that the appellant should live with no furnace; the appellant should not be prejudiced in his appeal by the former requests to the ministry being abandoned; and the appellant's history of pneumonia should be considered in making a decision on imminent danger to physical health. Ministry's Position The ministry's position is tha� while the appellant's need for a new furnace may have been unexpected when the furnace originally broke, the furnace has not been operating since at least April 2017 and was the subject of ministry requests for information in April and December of 2017. In July 2018, the need for a new furnace could not be unexpected; further the appellant provided no information to show that something unexpected prevented the appellant from saving the funds for a new furnace between the time he learned of the need for a replacement and July 2018. The ministry is not satisfied that the failure to provide the appellant with a crisis supplement for a new furnace in July 2018 would result in imminent danger to his health given temperatures during the summer, and given that a new furnace is not the appellant's only source of heat as heaters were brought in last winter to keep the appellant warm. Panel's Decision Section 57(1) of the EAPWDR only allows the ministry to provide a crisis supplement where: (1) the supplement is to meet an unexpected expense or obtain an item unexpectedly needed (s. 57(1)(a)); (2) there are no resources available to the family unit (s. 57(1)(a)); and (3) the minister considers that failure to meet the expense or obtain the item will result in imminent danger to physical health of any person in the family unit (s. 57(1)(b)). While the original ministry decision referred to the. legislative requirement that the cumulative amount of crisis supplement available to the family unit in the year must not exceed 2x the amount of disability assistance provided to the family in the month during which the request is made, the reconsideration decision does not place any reliance on this provision so it is not considered on this appeal. The ministry accepted that there were no resources available to the family unit, so the s econd requirement above was satisfied.
