It happens all the time, in fact I think they have meetings to discuss how to wriggle their ways round the law and out of their duties and then celebrate when they succeed! I hope its just paranoia on my part but I dont think so!!?? I have given up, or at least I think its me.....actually its probably them manipulated me into that! 10 years later and still waiting for assessments for my hubby and son which actually provide some help before they decide so much time has passed [usually 6 months of their procrastination] that the assessment is no longer valid and needs to be done again and a carer's assessment and some help. We dont want it now, having managed without and being treated appallingly by them even under extreme circumstances of mental health on my part and that of my husband and son at times. We feel quite sane now but then its probably just acclimatisation [ which would explain why we get get looked at so odd most of the time!!?? One things for sure, there's no sanity in dealing with SS. :-))
