Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 June 2012
262 Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for Social Protection the reason rent allowance has been suspended in respect of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30296/12]
View answerRent supplement for the person concerned was suspended pending receipt of information that was sought to enable a re-assessment of entitlement. The necessary documentation has since been received and the claim has been re-assessed. The payments (including arrears) are due to issue at the end of the month. The person concerned has been informed of the decision.
263 Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 332 of 12 of June 2012, the monthly rate of entitlement in respect of rent support in the case of a person (details supplied) in Dublin 8; if they receive the full pay; the reason for any deductions; if they have any entitlement to rent supplement; if he will accept this inquiry as a basis for appeal; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [30333/12]
View answerThe person concerned receives a weekly rent supplement payment of €77.61. This is based on the maximum rent supplement payable to a person in his circumstances of €107.61 per week; less the personal contribution of €30 per week applicable to a person in a single tenancy.
He is, therefore, receiving the full amount of rent supplement payable to a person in his circumstances.
