Hi Philad,
Thanks very much for your reply.
My solution is very similiar to yours. To claim HB first and argue that the 'rent' is rent for HB. If that fails, then there is a clear argument that the 'rent' is not rent and so he should then claim the SAR.
As it happens, the client has declined to make a claim - they couldn't face the hassle so will struggle on.
Thanks again,
