My reason for posting the previous ?: I was searching for a way to help my boyfriend “beat the system”.

My reason for posting this ?: He feels that his rights have been violated. Although I admit he has a serious alcohol addiciton & could benefit from treatment, I too am inclined to believe his rights are being violated. What do you think?

Details:
In September of last year I fell seriously ill. In short, I had severe muscle atrophy, rendering me unable to walk. My boyfriend quit his job to take care of me. (Thanks to his help, I have since recovered!)
By around January of this year, he had ran out of cash. He turned to Social Services for financial help until he’s able to
find a job. They told him he must comply with treatment for his alcohol addiction in order to continue receiving benefits.
Considering the fact that he didn’t quit his job as a result of his drinking problem, I feel this it is an unjustified requirement.

What do you think?
An important note to add: My boyfriend has never missed a day of work as a result of his alcohol addiction.
