As detailed to the Deputy in reply to Parliamentary Question No 88 of 5th February 2015, the client concerned was not entitled to Rent Supplement as both he and his wife are in full time employment. As also outlined in that response, if there has been a change in the client's circumstances, they should provide documentary evidence to the Department confirming same so that their entitlement to Rent Supplement can be reassessed.
