View answerAs detailed to the Deputy in response to Parliamentary Question No 50 of 24 September 2015, the rate of Rent Supplement for the client concerned was increased as an exceptional measure due to extenuating family circumstances in September 2015. The client concerned is in receipt of their maximum entitlement to Rent Supplement based on their weekly means and family composition. As also detailed in that response, the client's Rent Supplement claim will be subject to ongoing review by the Department.
