Dependants and members of the household of EEA nationals
10.—(1) If a person satisfies any of the conditions in paragraph (4), and if in all the circumstances it appears to the decision-maker appropriate to do so, the decision-maker may issue to that person an EEA family permit, a residence permit or a residence document (as the case may be).
(2) Where a permit or document has been issued under paragraph (1), these Regulations apply to the holder of the permit or document as if he were the family member of an EEA national and the permit or document had been issued to him under regulation 13 or 15.
(3) Without prejudice to regulation 22, a decision-maker may revoke (or refuse to renew) a permit or document issued under paragraph (1) if he decides that the holder no longer satisfies any of the conditions in paragraph (4).
(4) The conditions are that the person—
(a)is dependent on the EEA national or his spouse;
(b)is living as part of the EEA national’s household outside the United Kingdom; or
(c)was living as part of the EEA national’s household before the EEA national came to the United Kingdom.
(5) However, for those purposes “EEA national” does not include—
(a)an EEA national who is in the United Kingdom as a self-sufficient person, a retired person or a student;
(b)an EEA national who, when he is in the United Kingdom, will be a person referred to in sub-paragraph (a).
