Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2016
118. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will set out the position in respect of entitlement to rent support in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [39215/16]
View answerAs detailed to the Deputy in reply to Parliamentary Question No 31509-16 and several related Parliamentary Questions this Rent Supplement was closed on 21st December 2015 as a result of information requested from the client not being submitted. It was also outlined to the Deputy that the client should make a new application for Rent Supplement if she wished to further their application.
The client needs to confirm all monies received as a result of her family law settlement, evidence of monies withdrawn and the remaining balance. Rent Supplement is a means tested payment and a decision cannot be made without this documentation.
I trust that this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
