Following is a response from Senior DHS Staff Member, Tom Pullum:

Yes. Some questions in the household questionnaire, such as age, marital status, and education, are asked again in the individual questionnaires (for women and men). When they differ, the response in the IR/MR file has priority over the response in the PR file. The household respondent (the person with line number hv003) is often someone other than the respondent in the individual surveys, and is less knowledgeable, but sometimes the same person will give a different answer. In some data quality analyses, we have looked at these kinds of discrepancies.
