The person concerned was refused rent supplement on 5th July 2012 due to his failure to meet a number of the qualifying conditions and he was notified of the reasons for refusal on the same day. If the person concerned can meet these criteria, the Department will be in a position to re-assess his rent supplement claim. Alternatively, the person concerned can appeal the refusal to the Social Welfare Appeals Office. An appeal can be sent in writing to the Chief Appeals Officer, Social Welfare Appeals Office, D'Olier House, D'Olier St, Dublin 2.
