I will finish on this. The subsection further provides that the principal residence of the applicant will not be taken into account if that could give rise to destitution or homelessness of a person with a close connection to the applicant. This provision is to allow for exceptional circumstances and will generally apply in the case of a relative who does not fall into the categories prescribed in the subsection.
