The Health Service Executive (HSE) advised that the persons concerned were awarded mortgage interest supplement for a 12 month period in July 2010 as an exceptional measure as the amount of mortgage interest payable by the claimant was in excess of the amount the HSE consider reasonable to meet his or her residential needs. The HSE further advised that they will review the entitlement of the persons concerned.
