Title: How sad is this?

An elderly couple who were separated for seven months by social services have been reunited.

Richard and Beryl Driscoll, who are both 89 and have been married for 65 years, are together again at the Bredon View care home in Cheltenham.

The pensioners were split up when Mr Driscoll, who is disabled, was placed in the home, but Mrs Driscoll did not qualify despite being blind.

Social services reviewed her case after pressure from their family.

It's wonderful they are back together but disgraceful that they were separated to start with.

Social services do a lot of damage.
