<p>The Universal Credit regulations provide that a claimant is to be treated as liable
to make rent payments - where the person who is liable to make the payments is not
doing so, the payments are required in order to continue occupation, and it would
be unreasonable to expect them to make other arrangements. Therefore, in the example
described, it would be possible for the whole liability to be considered as part of
the UC calculation, subject to any usual restrictions such as the Local Housing Allowance
or removal of the spare room subsidy.</p>
