I’ve often likened the care and benefit system to Snakes and Ladders. Trouble is I keep finding the snakes not the ladders!

Nightmare for the family carer though? They would need to be around to let the workers in? I see it as a way to discharge patients home more quickly. This then ‘forces’ the family carer or indeed any relation who lives with the patient into a full time Carer Roll?
