Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2017
174. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if provision can be made to facilitate payment of substantial arrears of rent support in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7985/17]
View answerI refer the Deputy to Parliamentary Questions No. 144 of 9 February 2017, No. 196 of 2 November 2016 and Parliamentary Question No. 123 of 14 July 2016. The client concerned has not, to date, provided the Department with an up to date Rent Supplement application form confirming an increase to their monthly rent. On receipt of same, the client's entitlement can be re-assessed.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
