The Health Service Executive (HSE) has advised that the person concerned had previously been in receipt of rent supplement but his payment was suspended as his primary social welfare payment ceased. The HSE further advised that they wrote to the person concerned in November 2010 requesting him to contact the community welfare officer. The person concerned failed to respond to this request and his rent supplement claim was subsequently closed.

The HSE further advised that a new application for rent supplement was made on 18 April 2011. The HSE has requested further information from the person concerned in relation to his income source and his whereabouts since November 2010 and also in relation to his entitlement to a social welfare payment. A decision will be made on his application when the information has been provided.
