The community welfare service (CWS) and the community welfare officers providing it transferred formally to the Department of Social Protection (DSP) from 1 October 2011. The service and the staff are now part of the DSP.

The person concerned made an application for rent supplement on 29th July but her rent was in excess of the maximum rent limit appropriate to her family composition. The person concerned has been requested to provide further information in order to process her claim. A decision will be made on her application when the information has been provided.
