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.

The person concerned has a claim for rent supplement that is currently temporarily suspended. His Family Income Supplement payment has recently been reassessed and confirmation of his recent part time earnings has now been sought. A decision in relation to entitlement will be made when this information has been received.
