Commons ChamberI am extremely well aware of that. The thing is, the mother who cares is there during the day and perhaps occasionally in the evening, but she is not a permanently present overnight carer. That goes back to this being a matter of discretion, rather than people with a disability being properly exempted.
Does the hon. Gentleman have any idea whether his constituent meets the criteria for a discretionary payment?
