Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection

The Department received a Rent Supplement application for the property in question on 4/1/18. Additional documentation was requested on 8/1/18 and has not, to date, been returned.

Upon receipt of same, entitlement to Rent Supplement can be assessed for the period of the tenancy.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.

Question No. 293 answered with Question No. 286.
