Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 December 2015
88. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection if the rent support of a person (details supplied) in County Kildare who is now homeless will be affected if that person joins with another person who has a child and has independent housing status and rent support, given that the new situation would provide rent support for two adults, both unemployed and one with a child [43424/15]
View answerAll changes in circumstances should be immediately notified to the Department. The client concerned should contact their local Social Protection office to advise them of same. An assessment on the other clients continued entitlement cannot be made without their details being submitted to the Department. Should there be a change to this clients family composition and weekly income, they should submit an updated Rent Supplement application form, outlining same in order for their entitlement to be re-assessed.
