The point I made was that a relative cannot take control of his affairs unless he has a lasting power of attorney; you cannot force an adult to accept help if he doesn't want it unless he is so mentally incapacitated that he needs to be sectioned - and that applies to relatives and officials.
There are people that don't want contact with relatives and prefer not to have friends. We shouldn't be blaming the relatives if this poor chap was like that.

The report said,
'She added: “I don’t know how these people sleep at night. God forbid any of them should need the system one day'
Why would she not have got her husband to break in if need be, to make sure his dad was okay?

Mistakes happen.
And where this mans death was avoidable it does happen.
But where was his family? Bailiffs don't just rock up a week after someone stops paying their rent. Why didn’t his family find him? Why wasn’t his family making at least minimal visits to a disabled family member?
We can (obviously in this instance) blame the stopping of benefits (in line with procedures) but I blame the breakdown of family and the family support network.
It says he had mental health issues and didn’t seek help but that is what his family should have been doing for him.
