The Health Service Executive has advised that following a review of the means of the person concerned, the amount of rent supplement payable was reduced on foot of income from maintenance payments. The Executive has further advised that this decision was appealed to its designated appeals officer on 21st December 2007 but the original decision of the community welfare office was upheld on 29th January 2008. It is open to the person concerned to appeal this decision to the Chief Appeals Office of the Department of Social and Family Affairs.
