Hopefully now their situation is made more public a local age related charity may be able to gently talk them round. They seem to be very set in their ways and need help to get things resolved in the simplest way possible. So often, people don't have the time or patience to take a while and listen to someone's fears and allay them - let's hope they are put on the right...

Maybe it all comes down to pride...that and not being able to 'get on with' or understand modern ways. To them,being offered accommodation may have been seen as charity,and pride will not let them accept this. Whoever offers them the necessary advice would need to be trusted by them...maybe no one like that has offered help.
Some of the attitudes on here are shocking...I'd like to see how some ABers are coping with change 40-50 years down the line.

We are living longer but many people are not saving towards their retirement. By modernising the state pension and protecting important benefits for older people, we will make sure everyone is able to enjoy a secure future.
Helping older people get online
We live in an increasingly digital world, everything from providing services to social interaction is changing.
DWP’s ‘Digital strategy’ sets out how the department will provide the high quality digital services people prefer to use.
As information and services move increasingly online we need to make sure that older people are not left behind and are able to benefit fully from the increased independence that comes with digital competence. ** At the same time we will make sure our services continue to be available to those who are not able to access them online.**
Some hot air from the DWP.

Haha, sometimes, I really do like sad- he's the milk of human kindness!
But yes, im afriad I too find it difficult to have sympathy for the situation they're in.
I fully understand that they might have been scared of internet banking, and totally confused by it, but surely to God they should've had the nounce to swallow a bit of pride and just ask for help before they got into this pickle? Is it worth losing your home to save a bit of face?
It also doesn't state why they also refused emergency accommodation either.
