A person returning to full-time employment does not qualify for rent supplement unless they have been assessed by the local authority as being eligible for accommodation under the rental accommodation scheme. The Health Service Executive has advised that the person concerned is awaiting such an assessment from the local authority. When this assessment has been completed their entitlement to rent supplement can then be decided.
