Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection

As detailed to the Deputy in reply to Parliamentary Question No. 48 of 8th October 2015, the client concerned was found ineligible for Rent Supplement as he is in full time employment. Rent Supplement is not payable where a person or their spouse/partner is in full-time employment of 30 hours or more per week.
