(d)is present in the common travel area, and
(e)has been present in the common travel area for a period of, or for periods amounting in the aggregate to, not less than 26 weeks in the 52 weeks immediately preceding that day.
(2) In the case of a child under the age of 6 months, paragraph (1) is to apply as if in sub-paragraph (e) for the reference to 26 weeks there was substituted a reference to 13 weeks.
(3) Where in any particular case a child has by virtue of paragraph (2) entitlement to the care component immediately before the day the child attains the age of 6 months, then until the child attains the age of 12 months, paragraph (1)(e) shall continue to apply in that child’s case as if for the reference to 26 weeks there was substituted a reference to 13 weeks.
