The supplementary welfare allowance scheme, which is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive, provides for the payment of a rent supplement to assist eligible people who are unable to provide for their immediate accommodation needs from their own resources and who do not have accommodation available to them from any other source.
The Executive has advised that they have no record of an application for rent supplement from the person concerned. If the person concerned wishes to make an application for rent supplement then they should contact the local community welfare officer who will advise them of their entitlements.
