Question:

1585. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 522 of 12 December 2017, the documentation requested on 6 September 2017 in the case of a person (details supplied) in respect of their rent supplement claim; the basis upon which it was requested; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54709/17]

Written answers

Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

On 6/9/17 the person concerned was requested to provide the Department with a SWA 3A Rent Supplement Review Form. This was requested as part of a review of their Rent Supplement entitlement. According to the records of the Department this form has not, to-date, been received. On receipt of outstanding documentation, entitlement will be re-assessed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
