The person concerned is currently in receipt of Disability Allowance at maximum personal rate for a person in her circumstances; she will also shortly receive the Free Fuel Allowance along with this. In addition Rent Supplement is payable to the person concerned, again at the maximum rate for a person in her circumstances.

She has also received payments in the past from the Supplementary Welfare Allowance scheme. Should the person have any other financial needs of an emergency nature she should again contact her local office at North Strand.
