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-mid-Leinster area of the HSE has advised that the rent supplement rate payable to the person concerned has been reviewed recently to take account of an increase in her rate of one parent family payment. It has determined that the revised rate of rent supplement payable to her will be €163.69 per week. The HSE is to notify her of this decision and of the effective date.
