The supplementary welfare allowance scheme, which includes rent supplement, is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive. Neither I nor my Department has any function in decisions on individual claims.

The executive has advised that it received an application for rent supplement from the person concerned on 9 February 2006 and that it has requested documentation from the person concerned so that it can make a decision on the matter but that the information sought has not been received to date.
