Following is a response from Senior DHS staff member, Tom Pullum:

DHS surveys in the same country are just as independent of each other as surveys in different countries. The households and clusters are not repeated, although the same ID codes (for example, 1, 2, 3, etc.) may be re-used. You cannot follow specific individuals or households or clusters in successive surveys.
