Sir Stanley Burnton:
The changes [to the Regulations] made in December 2013 do not affect the issues arising in the present case. Both before and after December 2013 the effect of the Regulation may be summarised as being that the presence of an adult who requires overnight care may entitle the HB claimant to an additional bedroom but the presence of a child who requires overnight care does not.
Lord Justice Underhill
