Written answers
The rent being paid by the person concerned is higher than the appropriate maximum amount of rent in respect of which a supplement is payable, as set out in the statutory regulations. Given her particular circumstances, she has been given an additional four month period to either seek alternative accommodation or negotiate a voluntary reduction in the rent with her landlady. Meanwhile, the full amount of rent being paid to the landlady has been taken into account for the purposes of the assessment of her entitlement to rent supplement.
