Mortgage interest supplements are available through the supplementary welfare allowance scheme which is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive.
The HSE, western area, has advised that, following a review of the household income situation of the person concerned, it was decided that he no longer qualifies for payment of a mortgage interest supplement. The executive has further advised that he has been unsuccessful in appealing against this decision to its area appeals officer. At the request of the person concerned, his case was referred by the executive to the social welfare appeals office for further adjudication and a decision on that appeal is expected shortly.
