The Health Service Executive (HSE) informed the person concerned on 24 August 2010 that he should seek accommodation within the relevant prescribed maximum rent limits or seek a reduction in the rent charged by the landlord. The HSE advised the person concerned that payment of rent supplement would continue for an 8 week period after which his rent supplement would cease if he did not either source alternative accommodation within the relevant prescribed maximum rent limits or obtain a reduction in the rent charged by the landlord within that period.

As the person concerned has not been in contact with the HSE in that regard, the payment of rent supplement has now been suspended. If the person concerned wishes to discuss their entitlement to rent supplement he should contact the community welfare officer at his local health centre.
