The position remains as advised in Parliamentary Question No. 262 which I answered for the Deputy on 17 December 2009. The Executive has advised that it has no record of an application for mortgage interest supplement from the person concerned. It is open to the person concerned to make an application for mortgage interest supplement to the community welfare officer in her area if she wishes.

The supplementary welfare allowance scheme, which includes rent supplement, is administered on behalf of the department by the Community Welfare Service of the Health Service Executive.

The Executive has advised that there is no record of an application for rent supplement from the person concerned. If the person concerned wishes to make an application for rent supplement he should contact the community welfare officer at his local health centre.
