The supplementary allowance (SWA) scheme, including rent supplement, is administered on my behalf by the Community Welfare division of the Health Service Executive (HSE).

The Executive has advised that it has awarded a rent supplement of €263.92 per week to the person concerned with effect from 24th August 2007. The Executive has further advised that person concerned will be notified of this decision in writing and any outstanding arrears will be issued in due course.
