Malcolm is a retired Royal Air Force (RAF) officer, who has served in three conflicts abroad. He is in receipt of RAF pension only. He lives in a low-income house with his partner and four children aged 10, 11, 15 and 17 years. Their 10 year old son Calvin has profound and multiple learning disabilities. Malcolm has recently contacted a car dealership with the intent of purchasing two new cars. He also said to his friend Jack that his home is too small and would like to purchase a house the size of a castle or may be one for each of the children in the near future.
