The community welfare service (CWS) and the community welfare officers providing it transferred formally to the Department of Social Protection (DSP) from 1 October 2011. The service and the staff are now part of the DSP. There is no record of an application for rent supplement from the person concerned. If the person concerned wishes to make an application for rent supplement she should contact the Central Rents Unit on Freephone 1800 201 698 or her local Supplementary Welfare Service Office.
