In the past, I have not included the data when submitting, since you have to register with DHS as a user before being granted access.

What I do instead is include two sets of analysis files: one for the analysis (the usual file) and one that "cleans" the data from the original download set to the set I run the analysis on. That way others can apply for and download the data on their own, but then run your (two sets of) analysis files and get everything back exactly right. I have not had a problem with editors on that - I just explain in my cover letter that it is easy for qualified researchers to obtain access to the data, and that my files will recreate my results from raw downloaded data to final analysis figures/tables.
