The person concerned has not supplied the Department with any information in relation to his part-time earnings. Details would have to be provided to the relevant sections in order to accurately establish what effect two days of employment would have on his rent supplement and jobseekers allowance entitlements. However, the person concerned has no current entitlement to rent supplement as his rent is in excess of the appropriate limit.
