The Idiocy of the Government's new Assessment Procedures!
Submitted by Anonymous on Thu, 2011-05-12 13:27.This is an absolute disgrace. How dare the Government put this man and his wife through such indignity by removing Mr Litvinoff's care package! The new Assessment procedures are very obviously NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE!
Mr Litvinoff should be entitled to certain benefits to enable him to live with the conditions which pertain to his age - any elderly person has a right to proper care, especially if he has been resident in the UK for so many years. As a refugee from the pogroms, he deserves better than this from the UK! Shame on our Government!
Shame on Camden Council - obviously the social services staff don't know what they are talking about. At 98 years old, Mr Litvinoff has the right to proper care & facilities. He has paid his taxes so he should be receiving the necessary support.
If nothing else, at least Jewish Care should be taking up his plea for help. Where are they?
I am appalled by this gentleman's case. I hope that someone will take up his cause!
