I refer to the means testing of family income supplement, FIS, for rent assessment. I ask the Minister to disregard the means test. When a person is due for a rent assessment FIS is taken into account. Given the current climate, where rents are very high, it negates the purpose of having family income support when it is taken into account for the payment of any support. I ask the Minister to negate that and make a statement on the matter.
