No problem.....go ahead with the journey .when the prs gets a single lady passenger of age 45 and above it automatically allots seat under lower Berth quota denoted by SS.
I have used this and ladies quota which is denoted LD to get confirm seats for my mother many a times.

Well then we have a different understanding of this process. If somebody else has official documentation to clarify whether LB Quota is a 'pool' from which all 3 groups get allocation or they have separate allocations each, it would be appreciated.

Here is what I found after some digging in more than 1 location -
"Exclusive Accommodation for Ladies, Sr. Citizen and Pregnant Women
.
i. An accommodation of six berths in sleeper class of all the trains is earmarked for exclusive use of lady passengers.
ii.
...
more...
In addition to this a COMBINED quota of 2 lower berths is earmarked in sleeper class, AC 3-Tier and AC 2-Tier classes for Sr. Citizens, Female passengers 45 years of age and above traveling alone and pregnant women in all trains.
iii. Pregnant women will be required to submit a certificate of pregnancy certified by one registered Medical Practitioner at the time of booking against the quota."
.
1. Reference one - Official Circular - /315158/14364938/cc46
2. NCR section of IR website - click here
3. Indian Rail PDF regarding facilities for senior citizens - click here
4. Press Release by Indian Rail - click here
.
This COMBINED 2 berth quota seems to have been increased from 2 to 4 berths in SL coaches but again there is no reference of separate allocation for Senior Citizens. References below -

Good one Sir. From 13/5/2015, they have increased to 4 berths/SL coaches which was 2 earlier.
One more new implementation is that from 1/1/2016, Two eligible passengers can book together in a same PNR to avail the same quota. At present , it is allotted to passenger who is travelling alone (>45 female,>60 male and Pregnant lady)
