The person concerned made an application for rent supplement on 9 of December 2011. He moved into accommodation that was far in excess of the prescribed rent limits applicable to his circumstances. The person concerned has recently been contacted by an official from the Department and asked to renegotiate his rent to a suitable amount. The Department is prepared to allow him a rent higher than the single limit up until the expiration of his current lease based on his medical circumstances.
