(a) the young person or partner lives with the member; or
(b) the Commission is of the opinion that the young person or partner would be living with the member but for:
(i) a temporary absence of the member, or the young person or partner (as the case requires); or
(ii) an absence of the member, or the young person or partner (as the case requires), due to illness or infirmity.

Note: This section also applies to former members (see section 20).
