The whole culture seems to have changed at the DWP from wanting to help people, to viewing them with suspicion and contempt.
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.
