Amharc ar fhreagraThe person concerned was refused rent supplement on 5th July 2012 due to his failure to meet a number of the qualifying conditions and he was notified of the reasons for refusal on the same day. If the person concerned can meet these criteria, the Department will be in a position to re-assess his rent supplement claim.
