The Department has not, to date, received an application for Rent Supplement from the client concerned. The client should forward an application to be assessed for entitlement to the Mid-Leinster Rent Unit, PO Box 11758, Dublin 24.

The client concerned is in receipt of their full entitlement to Rent Supplement based on their monthly rent, weekly income and family composition. There is no record of the Department having any contact with this client regarding their on-going entitlement to Rent Supplement.
