Maybe so. I don't really know. Social services are a problem though. Throughout the world as far as I can tell. I remember when my mum was sick and I was caring for her full time which meant no work or study for me, I needed a carers allowance to pay the bills etc. I kept putting off going down to fill out the forms because i was so busy looking after Mum. The bills were piling up and when I did finally go down there, they told me they don't back pay that particular allowance. Mum died two weeks later.

It can be really hard sometimes. Looking from the outside people can never know what it's really like, and every case is different.
