Or could it be depending?

Question Author

Think I have it now, dependant rather than dependent.  That's what they mean by change of letter.

Subject to is dependent (on).

A person who needs support is dependent on you.

The noun for someone who depends on you is a dependant.

The second half of the clue suggests swapping an A for an E (one of them in nEEd)

I think that means changing dependent to dependant.

Sorry, crossed posts. Did it really take me 4 minutes to type and submit that
