Providing respite care in the cared-for person’s home

If you are providing temporary care for an adult who is not part of your normal household, payments you receive from the LA can be ignored as income. The relevant provision (e.g. IS regs Sch 9, para 27) suggests that this care must be given in the claimant’s home but actually reads “who is not normally a member of the claimant’s household but is temporarily in his care…”

Has anyone successfully argued, or know if the DWP are happy to accept, that payments for providing respite care in the cared-for person’s home should be treated in the same way? Can someone be temporarily in your care if you are caring for them in their home rather than yours in other words?

Thank you.
