Rent supplements are provided through the supplementary welfare allowance scheme which is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive. The Dublin and mid Leinster area of the executive has advised that a rent supplement has been awarded in this case backdated to the date of application, 22 March 2005. The first payment of the supplement will issue to the person concerned this week.
