(4)

In applying the provisions of sub-paragraph (2) in the case of partners, only one deduction shall be made in respect of the partners based on the partners' joint weekly income.

(5)

Where a person is a non-dependant in respect of more than one joint occupier of a dwelling (except where the joint occupiers are partners), the deduction in respect of that non-dependant shall be apportioned between the joint occupiers (the amount so apportioned being rounded to the nearest penny) having regard to the number of joint occupiers and the proportion of the housing costs in respect of the dwelling occupied as the home payable by each of them.

(6)

No deduction shall be made in respect of any non-dependants occupying the dwelling occupied as the home of the claimant, if the claimant or any partner of his is—

(i)

an attendance allowance; or

(ii)

(d)

if he is aged under 25 and in receipt of income support or an income-based jobseeker’s allowance; or

(e)

if he is not residing with the claimant because he has been a patient for a period in excess of 13 weeks, or is a prisoner; and in calculating any period of 13 weeks, any 2 or more distinct periods separated by one or more intervals each not exceeding 28 days shall be treated as a single period.

(8)

In the case of a non-dependant to whom sub-paragraph (1) applies because he is in remunerative work, there shall be disregarded from his gross income—

(a)

any attendance allowance or disability living allowance received by him;
