The person concerned was in receipt of both jobseekers allowance and rent supplement from my Department whilst also being employed on a casual basis. In August last, his jobseekers allowance was suspended as requested documentation had not been provided. This meant that his rent supplement entitlement was also suspended pending review.

The necessary documents have been supplied and both jobseekers allowance and rent supplement has been reinstated to the person concerned including any arrears due.
