TDF,

You are spot on with it all. Your Dad's situation is exactly the one in which the system was originally designed. Seems like life throws curveballs at some of the best people, and those are the ones that deserve the assistance. I, too, would never consider you Dad or someone in a similar situation a free-loader. I'd like to speculate that the system was abused to a lessor degree then, than it is now.

Edit: fishbones beat me to it.
