230 How non-entitlement period, etc, affects supplementary benefits, and spouse or partner (1) This section applies while a person is subject to— (a) a non-entitlement period; or (b) a stand down under section 316 (start and calculation of stand-down period); or (c) a sanction of suspension of 100% of a benefit under section 237 , 270 , or 280 . (2) The person is not entitled to receive— (a) an emergency benefit; or (b) an accommodation supplement; or (c) temporary additional support. (3) However, an accommodation supplement that an applicant was receiving immediately before the applicant applied for a benefit continues, despite subsections (1)(b) and (2)(b), at the same rate for the period of non-entitlement. (4) If a person’s spouse or partner is under section 316 (start and calculation of stand-down period) not entitled to a benefit, then (under this subsection, and despite any contrary provision of this Act) the person is also not entitled to the benefit.
