He has no concept of working, finding a job and motivating himself to be better,cuz he is living off of family members that's why.
And his family lets him do it too, so the cycle continues.
It just sounds like this person needs some push to move forward. I don't think this person needs to apply for govt benefits because once you on.... you become dependent. And when you become dependent, this raises my taxes! One less person on govt benefits = one less $ I gotta pay.
