While the regulations do not preclude this it would be a peculiar set of circumstances where someone can provide care to another person for 35 hours yet require attention throughout the day and night to support their own care needs.
I would doubt its a culture change at DWP as it is among the electorate. People voted for the benefit freeze as part of a Conservative manifesto. Reducing public expenditure has consequences.
