and [F2the Secretary of State] is satisfied, after taking account of the factors set out in [F11paragraph (5)] in so far as they are appropriate to the particular circumstances of the case, that the person providing the care will not be able to continue doing so unless a jobseeker’s allowance is paid to the claimant; or
