The Deputy should be aware that, in some cases, portions of an applicant's overall ANC payment may involve elements of payments across multiple categories. Where this happens, for example, an individual receiving payment under Category 1 Higher rate and Category 1 Lower rate and Category 3 Higher rate, they will be counted in each of the relevant categories.
