The supplementary welfare allowance scheme is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive. Neither I, nor my Department, have any function in deciding entitlement in individual cases.
The Dublin-mid-Leinster area of the executive has advised that the person concerned applied recently for a supplementary welfare allowance. It has no record of a claim from him for rent supplement, or of any appeal by him in relation to the terminated supplementary welfare entitlements at his previous address. The executive is awaiting additional information from the person concerned in order to determine his entitlements in his current circumstances.
