The Health Service Executive (HSE) has advised that following a review of this case the person concerned has been awarded rent supplement of €29.30 per week which is her full entitlement based on her personal circumstances. The HSE has further advised that due to an error made at the last review of this case the person concerned was paid an amount of €91.40 per week for the period from 10 January 2011 until 2 July 2011. The correct rent supplement at that time was €37.20. This has led to a total overpayment amount of €1,355. The HSE has further advised that it will now seek to pursue recovery of this amount.
