If you disagree with a Ministry decision, first discuss it with the Ministry person who made it. If you’re still unhappy with the decision, ask for a reconsideration. The Ministry will provide you with a package that includes a ''Request for Reconsideration'' form to complete. It’s a good idea to get assistance completing this form (sources of assistance are listed at the end of this script). | If you disagree with a Ministry decision, first discuss it with the Ministry person who made it.

Not every decision can be reconsidered, but if you are not sure about your case, complete a Request for Reconsideration form and give it to the Ministry. A reconsideration officer will tell you if the decision can be reconsidered. The Ministry website has more on this at [http://www.hsd.gov.bc.ca/publicat/bcea/appeal.htm www.hsd.gov.bc.ca/publicat/bcea/appeal.htm]. | Not every decision can be reconsidered, but if you are not sure about your case, complete a ''Request for Reconsideration'' form and give it to the Ministry.
