Written answers

Payment of jobseeker’s allowance in the case of the client concerned was suspended due to concerns regarding address. As the client provided proof of address and evidence to the Social Welfare Inspector her payment suspension has been lifted.

The client concerned has been requested to provide up to date documentation relating to her rent supplement claim. On receipt of same, her ongoing rate of rent supplement entitlement can be reassessed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
