The Health Service Executive (HSE) has advised that payment of mortgage interest supplement in this case has not been refused, the payment is currently suspended on the basis that the person concerned has not yet provided the Executive with the information it requested. The HSE will make a decision on this person's entitlement to mortgage interest supplement when the information requested has been provided.

The HSE has further advised that the person concerned has not made an application for a basic weekly supplementary welfare allowance payment. If the person concerned wishes to make an application for a basic supplementary welfare allowance he should contact the community welfare officer at this local health centre.
