He was able to return to live with his elderly parents who are both pensioners. I suppose he is in the fortunate situation that they are able to support him. He has been told he has no entitlements whatsoever. The situation gets worse in that he has now been diagnosed with cancer and he has not been able to get a medical card. I find that totally unacceptable and it should not be allowed to happen. I would like to think those kinds of cases could be treated with respect and that such an individual, where there are very particular circumstances surrounding the case, would be given the support he needs. His parents, who are elderly pensioners, are extremely worried about him and are very concerned for his future. He is a gentleman in his late 30s.
