Following the birth of her third child, information regarding her husband’s means was requested from the person concerned in order that her means be established. To date this information has not been forthcoming despite being requested and her claim for a rent supplement has been disallowed. The person concerned has been notified of this decision in writing and of her right to appeal same. However if she does provide the requested information to her local office the case will be reviewed immediately.
