To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Old age care, particularly financial support, is the most important need of elder people. Some old aged people can support themselves without any government support while some people are in dire need of government support. I believe that the government is responsible for such support if an old aged person is not eligible to work further and he has no other support. It is argued that a thorough analysis should be conducted for each old age person to decide if he deserves such support. A thorough analysis is being conducted below to support my opinion.

Helping helpless and ineligible people is (<-- Change 'is' to 'should be') the responsibility of the government. So, its duty of state to identify such people, provide them with necessary care and financial support so that they can live a respectful life in society. (<-- Reword to: It is important to identify such people, provide them with necessary care and financial support so that they can live a respectful life in society.) In each society there are many people who have lost their professional strengths because of old age. A person without any professional strength can never support himself. A considerable proportion of such people do not have any other person to support them in this stage of life. Hence the dire need of old people for such support is crystal clear.

Providing care and financial support to rich and able-bodied elder people will be an unnecessary negative burden on the budget allocated for older people. There are many retired people who have a lot of backup money, professional strengths as well as family support. Such people do not need government support and funds to live their life. Hence the government should not provide support to all retired people without evaluating each case individually and specifically. Hence the need of evaluation of each case is obvious. (<-- You use 'hence' quite often. Try using 'therefore', 'thus', 'so', 'consequently', etc.)

Analyzing both sides of the picture, it is reasoned that it is the responsibility of the government to provide support, particularly financial support to deserving elders. In order to afford this support, the government should evaluate each case individually.
