(a)paragraph (2) applies, or
(b)in that week person B is a kinship carer for person A.

(a)person B has been awarded—
(i)child tax credit, child benefit or state pension credit in respect of the week in question (or for a period that includes that week), or
(ii)universal credit for—
(aa)an assessment period that includes the week in question, or
(bb)an assessment period that ended immediately before the assessment period mentioned in [F1sub-head (aa)] started, and
(b)person A is recognised to be a child for whom person B has responsibility in terms of that award of assistance.
(3) It is immaterial for the purpose of this regulation that the award of assistance to person B referred to [F2in] paragraph (2) does not include any amount in respect of person A due to a rule that restricts the number of dependants in respect of whom person B can be given that type of assistance.
