If it’s being treated as specified managed accommodation why have you refused to pay HB? If there is something about the property which has led to the tenant being placed there to receive the support then you can still pay HB. If the care provider and the landlord have a service level agreement does this show that they are providing the support on the landlord’s behalf? If it does it means it’s exempt. If it doesn’t it does still suggest that there is a connection between the property and the tenants care needs.
