CAB In Crisis???

Citizen Advice Bureau’s have always provided a comprehensive and very worthwhile service to the general public especially in areas like Newry which has traditionally suffered unemployment and poor housing.
However a local O.A.P. who approached the local CAB branch in relation to a complicated social welfare form, was shocked to discover that CAB’s no longer helps in relation to this matter. Everyone knows that such agencies are under pressure from the increasingly bureaucratic nature of the DHSS but surely CAB’s have a duty to help the most needy and disadvantaged in society.
