Written answers

The claimant has been in receipt of rent supplement at her current address since 15th February 2011. Her rent supplement is currently paid on a calendar monthly basis at the end of each month. It is possible that the rent supplement be paid weekly, if the claimant so prefers. Since the awarding of the rent supplement, the only change has been on foot of the Budget 2012 measure which increased the statutory minimum contribution to her rent, effective from 1st January 2012.
