The household composition in the case of the person concerned is that of three adults and one child. Each of the adults in the household is in receipt of a social welfare payment. The minimum combined contributions to the rent of the person concerned and the liable adults residing as provided for in the regulations is €92.00 per week or €398.60 per month.

The monthly rent payable in this case is €900.00. The minimum monthly contribution is deducted from the monthly rent giving a rent supplement entitlement of €501.40 per month. This is the correct level of rent support payable in this case according to the information available to this department.
