Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 22 October 2015
121. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection the reason rent support has not been awarded to a person (details supplied) who has been homeless for the past two years, has lived in a variety of hostels, has serious health issues and has incurred arrears of rent through no personal fault; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37096/15]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs advised in the reply to the Deputy's most recent question on this matter (Question No. 269 of 22 September 2015), the documentation submitted by the person concerned to the Designated Person on 24th July 2015 was not the required documentation which had been sought. It was also advised that further notification had been sent to the person concerned on 7th August 2015 informing her of this, and stating once again precisely what documentation was required. This information was not received by the extended date and her rent supplement claim was subsequently closed.
Should the person concerned wish to re-apply for a rent supplement she should provide the information previously requested along with up-to-date documentation pertaining to her situation.
