A person with a developmental disability in his 30s who was homeless asked a social worker to help him because his mother died, but it was true when he went to that house

On the afternoon of the 3rd, A, a woman in her 60s, was found dead in a multi-family house in Bangbae-dong, Seoul.
The police, who saw the decay of the body, estimated that Mr. A was left unattended for several months after the death of the disease.
The first person to hear of Mr. A's death was Jung Mi-kyung, a private social worker.
At the beginning of last month, Jung met A's son, B, a homeless man in his 30s, near Isu Station.
[Jeong Mi-kyung/Social worker:'My mother was reading text on her mobile phone.
Then he fell down and said, uh, my arm doesn't move.' He breathed strangely and went the next day (he said he didn't breathe.)]
Son B wasn't even registered as a disabled person.
The death of Mr. A's house had a dry health bill that was pushed back for 100 months from 2008 to the latest. Water bills have been unpaid since June of last year, and electricity and gas bills have also been unpaid.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare identifies vulnerable households based on more than 30 information, including non-payment of various utility bills, and informs each local government. Mr. A is already receiving 280,000 won monthly housing allowance as a basic beneficiary, so he was pushed from the priority of notification.
What he really needed was a living and medical benefit, but A was known to have given up the application because he needed the consent of the divorced ex-husband, who is obligated to support his son.
His son B, who is currently staying at the house of acquaintances with his family, was recently selected as a national emergency welfare target and is expected to receive living expenses by next May.
