Dependent relatives.

142.—(1) If the claimant proves that he maintains at his own expense any person, being a relative of his or of his wife who is incapacitated by old age or infirmity from maintaining himself, or his or his wife's widowed mother, whether incapacitated or not, and being a person whose total income from all sources is less than £180 a year, he shall be entitled to a deduction of £60 in respect of each person whom he so maintains, and a like deduction shall be made in the case of a claimant who, by reason of old age or infirmity, is compelled to depend upon the services of a person (being a person whose total income from all sources is less than £180 a year and being a son or daughter of the claimant) resident with and maintained by him or her:
|
|
| |
Provided that each of the foregoing provisions of this subsection shall have effect, in a case in which the total income from all sources of the person in respect of whom the deduction is to be made exceeds £120 a year, as if, instead of specifying a deduction of £60, it specified a deduction of that amount reduced by the amount of the excess.
