The client concerned has been requested to provide the Department with relevant documentation regarding her Rent Supplement claim. On receipt of same, the client's entitlement will be re-assessed.
The Deputy should note that under the Private Rental Tenancies legislation a rent supplement uplift request is unable to be granted before 24 months has elapsed since the commencement date of the tenancy.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
