Social worker issues

So I met with a new social worker the other day in my flat. She was there to help me apply to social services for more adaptive equipment for DS and DD. Supposedly so.
She kept making me feel uncomfortable and asked me a lot of inappropriate questions. For several minutes I was answering endless questions about their disabilities and how much it impacted our lives. It honestly felt like I was filling out the dreaded DLA form once again.
I got the impression she had not read their notes. My question is it a good idea to complain about her? What is the best way to do so? Plus she smelled of alcohol too. I don’t want someone who can’t do their job properly. We recently moved to a new area and were assigned a previously unmet social worker over Christmas time. Until last week I didn’t have any chance of meeting her.
My son’s first ever social worker was amazing. She helped me fill out the paperwork, complimented me and actually read their notes before visiting us. I guess I’ve been spoiled by the system.
I have sent social services a email describing the meeting.
