257. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if he will facilitate urgent restoration of rent support incorporating an increase in rent to €1,000 per month in the case of a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9475/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraRent Supplement is currently in payment to the client concerned and will issue accordingly on 23/2/17.
Any changes in a client's circumstances that may affect their entitlements should be immediately notified to the Department. The client should submit an up to date Rent Supplement application form to the Department together with a lease agreement confirming any increase in their monthly rent. On receipt of same, the client's rate of Rent Supplement entitlement can be re-assessed.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
