In addition to the above, any period of absence during which both of the following circumstances apply:
(a) the claimant (who would normally live alone) was receiving care in a hospital, nursing home or convalescent home, or was resident in a retirement home on a fee paying basis; and
(b) the private residence remained unoccupied, should be treated as a period of occupation and, provided that all the other conditions of Section 604 are met, full principal private residence relief should be granted.
Where the residence was occupied rent free, during a period of absence as in 1(a) above, by a relative of the claimant, for the purpose of security or maintaining it in a habitable condition, the claim should be admitted.
