Because benefits don't always have to mean money and nothing else Cherie, I said that because this is what you posted earlier in the thread..

it's a pass the buck world now, somehow the government are supposed to play all roles in peoples lives via cash payouts

Having his benefits stopped never just meant he had no cash, it also stopped his housing benefits and if he had still been receiving DLA then the social work department knowing he was vulnerable could have possibly sent home carers out to make sure he was safe, had things in to eat and if they would have seen the weight he was and reported it I'm pretty sure they could have got him signed into a hospital.
