Maintenance and property arrangements

If I am eligible to apply for maintenance but choose not to apply for maintenance; but apply for Comprehensive Social Security Assistance, is it okay?

The Social Welfare Department will require an applicant to first seek maintenance from the ex-spouse, and consider applying for government assistance only if difficulties are encountered.
