Payment of rent supplement to the person concerned was suspended when the primary payment of job seeker's benefit was closed. The Community Welfare Officer involved has tried to contact the person concerned to get details of his change of circumstances. The person concerned should contact his community welfare officer to establish his eligibility for rent supplement.
