SS - Duty of Despair
Does this sound familiar? A middle aged man decides to become his mum's main full time carer while living in her home. After all assessments are concluded SS suggests home adaptations including 11 support and grab rails in the home. He's told that these can be fitted for his mother for free, but they'd have to wait 6 months for the service. Failing that he could fit them himself. After 10 days he happily reports to SS that he fitted 7 of the 11 rails. The following week, to his surprise, he receives a daunting letter from SS notifying him of a safeguard alert put on his mother due to him not fitting all 11 rails ('security risk').
