That does not sound fair to me.

You need to look at the 'bigger picture'. Most rents are paid for by Housing Benefits and councils get a rent subsidy from national government.
Independant living in an adapted property costs the nation less than nursing home provision, or 'home help' to bathe a person (heaven forbid - I would rather stay mucky)
This reminds me of a saying by Mae West-
