(c)he in practice shares the housing costs with other members of the household none of whom are close relatives either of the claimant or his partner, [F295or, where that person is a member of a joint-claim couple, the other member of that couple,] and
(i)one or more of those members is liable to meet those costs, and
(ii)it is reasonable in the circumstances to treat him as sharing responsibility.
(2) Where any one or more, but not all, members of the claimant’s family are affected by a trade dispute, the housing costs shall be treated as wholly the responsibility of those members of the family not so affected.
