Uncertain legal issue for sheltered accommodation? (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
grey area
'uncertain legal' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'issue for sheltered accommodation?' is the wordplay.
'issue' becomes 'area' (area is a kind of issue).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'sheltered accommodation?' becomes 'grey' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'area' put after 'grey' is 'GREY AREA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for grey area that I've seen before include "Ill-defined situation" , "retirement home?" , "Debatable part of an issue" , "subject to debate?" , "One of unclear boundaries" .)
