# The Loans for Mortgage Interest Regulations 2017, Paragraph 6: Treated as not liable to make payments


A claimant is to be treated as not liable to make owner-occupier payments—
(a) where the liability to make the payments is owed to a person who is a member of the claimant’s household;
(b) in respect of any amount which represents an increase in the sum that would otherwise be payable and is the result of—
(i) outstanding arrears of any payment or charge in respect of the relevant accommodation;
(ii) outstanding arrears of any payment or charge in respect of other accommodation previously occupied by the claimant; or
(iii) any other unpaid liability to make a payment or charge; or
(c) where the Secretary of State is satisfied that the liability to make the owner-occupier payments was contrived in order to secure the offer of loan payments or increase the amount of each loan payment.
