The person concerned, who has one dependent child, was in receipt of rent supplement in respect of a rent which was €900 per month. The appropriate maximum amount of rent in respect of which a rent supplement is payable has been set at €875 monthly, since 1 January 2012. As the person concerned has income from part-time employment she is in a position to meet the balance of the rent required by the landlord and is not required to seek alternative accommodation.
