Written answers

Following a recent review, the clients Rent Supplement of €750 per month was found to be in excess of the maximum limit of €600 applicable to her circumstance and family composition in Wicklow.

The client has been requested to secure a rent reduction or source alternate accommodation within the maximum limits. The client's Rent Supplement will remain in payment until 31 December 2014 to allow sufficient time for this.
