The aim is to obtain legal marital status, irrespective of any de facto arrangement. The only qualification to this aim is that you should not probe the answer 'separated'.

Ignore temporary absences, e.g. on oil rig. A person whose spouse has been working away from home for over 6 months e.g. on a contract or in the armed forces, should still be coded as married if the separation is not permanent.

RECORD PERSON NUMBERS FROM HOUSEHOLD GRID
When we interviewed you on [ff_Idate], you said you had [ff_HsBeds] bedroom(s), excluding any you may sublet and [ff_HsRooms] other rooms, excluding kitchens and bathrooms. Is that still the case?
I would like to ask you a few questions about your household's accommodation. {if (HHGRID_W2.OrigAdd = 2|DK|REF) | (ff_HsBeds = DK|REF|MIS) | (ff_HsRooms = DK|REF|MIS)} How many bedrooms are there here excluding any bedrooms you may let or sublet?
Exclude any rooms currently or usually sublet to persons outside the household but include any rooms solely occupied by lodgers within households. You should already know if lodgers are present, if necessary check 'Does this include the rooms occupied by....?'. Exclude conservatories. IF BEDSIT, CODE 0 AT HSBEDS AND 1 AT HSROOMS
And how many other rooms do you have in your accommodation, excluding kitchens and bathrooms?
Exclude any rooms currently or usually sublet to persons outside the household but include any rooms solely occupied by lodgers within households.

Interviewer Instruction 'OTHER ROOMS' ARE LIVING ROOMS, DINING ROOMS, STUDIES AND PLAYROOMS, BUT NOT CONSERVATORIES UNLESS USED AS A LIVING ROOM ALL YEAR ROUND
And is this accommodation still [ff_HsOwnd]?
IF MORTGAGE PAID OFF SINCE LAST INTERVIEW, ANSWER NO HERE
Does your household own this accommodation outright, is it being bought with a mortgage, is it rented or does it come rent-free?
Shared ownership includes co-ownership and equity sharing schemes: a share in the property is being bought. The occupier may never become the sole owner of the property but will receive a cash sum on leaving the scheme. Where accommodation is owned or part-owned by ex-spouse or separated spouse treat as 'owned' (code 1). Do not count as rent-free cases where a rent would normally be paid but the whole amount is rebated (or paid direct to the landlord by the DWP through Housing Benefit). Code people who live in rent free accommodation owned by relatives as 'rent free'. If rent is paid for them by a relative or charity this should be recorded as a regular receipt in the finance grids.
In whose name is this (house/flat/room) owned?
If part owned with someone outside houshold enter 0 for this person. If household rents, give person actually responsible to landlord for rent. With adult sharers establish if there is a joint tenancy or if it is in one or two person's names, with others paying their share of the cost to them. If rent-free, give number of person responsible for the rent-free occupancy by virtue of job or family position. INTERVIEWER: IF OWNER IS NOT IN THE HOUSEHOLD ENTER 0 CODE ALL THAT APPLY

Does the accommodation go with the present job of anyone in the household?

With adult sharers establish if there is a joint tenancy in the names of all members of the household, or if it is just one or two person's names, with the others paying their share of the rent to the legal tenants. If rent-free, give number of individuals responsible for the rent-free occupancy by virtue of job or family position. IF TENANT IS NOT IN HOUSEHOLD ENTER 0
Who is the accommodation rented from or provided by?
Any household whose accommodation is tied to the job of one of its members this should be coded 6 or 9 as appropriate. People in tied accommodation whose employer is a Local Authority or New Town should also be coded 6.
Do you rent your accommodation...
In any doubtful case ask 'What is the agreement with your landlord?' and code accordingly. READ OUT
How much was the last rent payment, including any services or water charges but after any rebates?
If normal amount paid includes payment for hot water or heating, try to get the amount paid for rent only.

Was any Housing Benefit such as rent rebate or rent allowance deducted from the last rent payment?
Both rent rebate and rent allowance are forms of housing benefit. If the recepient is in council accommodation they will receive a rent rebate i.e. pay a reduced rent. But if the respondent is renting privately then a rent allowance will be paid either directly to the recepient or to the recepient's landlord.

Could you please tell me which Council Tax band this accommodation is in? The bands run from Band A to Band H.
This question refers to the Council Tax valuation bands, not the market value of the respondent's house. Please ask them to check their Council Tax bill if possible. Many renters may not know the band if it is included in their rent. Code these as 'Don't know'. If the household accommodation is not valued separately e.g. a granny flat or a bedsit, code 9. THIS MUST BE THE BAND SET BY THE COUNCIL, DO NOT ACCEPT INFORMANT'S OWN ESTIMATE OF VALUE OF PROPERTY.
Many people find it hard to keep up with their housing payments.

Caring module
Is there anyone living with you who is sick, disabled or elderly whom you look after or give special help to (for example, a sick, disabled or elderly relative/husband/wife/friend etc)?
Occasionally a person may not think of the care they provide as special because they either may have been looking after this person for a long time or because they view it as a natural obligation to look after a close relative, or because they think it normal to povide special care for the elderly. In some cases you may already know of someone in the household who is infirm or disabled. If you have reason to believe that someone within the household is receiving regular care because of age, infirmity or disability but this is not reported by the respondent you should ask 'And what about (NAME OF PERSON)? Do you look after them at all?' If the respondent does not agree, code answer given.
Who do you look after?
ENTER PERSON NUMBER(S) FROM HOUSEHOLD GRID CODE ALL THAT APPLY
Do you provide some regular service or help for any sick, disabled or elderly person not living with you?
Exclude any care given in the course of employment (e.g. by social worker or home help) but include if they provide care unpaid outside working hours. Exclude work in drop-in centres, luncheon clubs or meals on wheels. Include any service provided including visiting, sitting with them, keeping company, taking out, checking whether or not they are alright, helping with bills etc, as well as help with housework, cooking and personal care (e.g. washing or dressing). Include only one-to -one caring so that if, for instance, someone helps with meals-on-wheels or driving people to hospital this, in itself, does not count since they may be seeing different people each day. If, on the other hand they are paired off with one specific elderly/disabled person, this would count. Include here cases where person cared for is in the same building as respondent but lives separately (e.g. a 'granny flat' or annexe). Some respondents will be caring for people as a voluntary worker rather than as a friend or relative. If caring for two parents living together, code each separately. EXCLUDE HELP PROVIDED IN COURSE OF EMPLOYMENT
How many people do you care for?
Who is the first person that you look after or help? (What is their relationship to you?)

Who is the second person that you look after or help? (What is their relationship to you?)

Now thinking about everyone who you look after or provide help for both those living with you and not living with you - in total, how many hours do you spend each week looking after or helping (him/her/them)?
Please note that if respondent spends time caring for people within and outside the household the total time spent on both together should be entered. Include any travelling time or time spent sleeping at dependant's house if dependant is outside carer's household.
