Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2017
183. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will arrange for the urgent re-evaluation of an application for rent support in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5134/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraAs detailed to the Deputy in reply to Parliamentary Question No 108 of 26th January 2017, the client concerned was requested to provide documentation on 6/1/17 and 24/1/17 relating to the financial settlement received from the sale of the former family home. The requested documentation has not, to date, been received by the Department. As also detailed in that response, Rent Supplement is a means tested payment and the Department is unable to assess an application until receipt of all documentation. The Deputy should note that this information is required prior to 7/2/17.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
