Can drug addicts collect disability?
if you can prove that the addiction has caused you to be socially isolated or has caused medical problems…and yes according to the human rights code drug addiction is considered an addiction…but the social benefits tribunal has not acknowledged the human rights code in their decisions..Two alcoholics have taken it all the way to the supreme court and the court ruled it is an addiction according to the human rights code and that the social benefits tribunal has to take the human rights code into consideration in all future appeals or decisions..hopefully this is helpful
