The rate of Rent Supplement for the client concerned was increased as an exceptional measure due to extenuating family circumstances in September 2015. The client concerned is in receipt of their maximum entitlement to Rent Supplement based on their weekly means and family composition.
The client has been requested to provide the Department with an up to date lease agreement confirming any changes to her rate of rent payable. On receipt of same the claim can be re-assessed with regard to entitlement.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
