64C.—(1) The Secretary of State must take the following matters into account in determining hardship—
(a)whether the claimant’s partner or a person in the claimant’s family satisfies the requirements for a disability premium specified in paragraphs 6 and 7 of Schedule 4, or an element of child tax credit in respect of a child or young person who is disabled or severely disabled within the meaning of regulation 8 of the Child Tax Credit Regulations 2002;
(b)the resources which are likely to be available to the household without a hardship payment, including resources from persons who are not members of the household, but excluding any payment referred to in paragraph (2);
(c)the difference between the resources referred to in sub-paragraph (b) and the amount of the hardship payment that the claimant would receive;
(d)whether there is substantial risk that the household will not have access to essential items (including food, clothing, heating and accommodation), or will have access to such essential items at considerably reduced levels, without a hardship payment; and
(e)the length of time that the factors set out in sub-paragraphs (b) to (d) are likely to continue.
(2) The payments to be excluded from the resources referred to in paragraph (1)(b) are payments made under paragraph 7 (1) or (2) of Schedule 8 (sums to be disregarded in the calculation of income other than earnings: child tax credit and child benefit) to the claimant or the claimant’s partner in respect of a child or young person who is a member of the claimant’s household or family.]
