View answerThe 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.
There is no record of a rent supplement application in respect of the person concerned. If the person concerned wishes to apply for rent supplement she should contact her local Community welfare Officer.
