The client concerned was found ineligible for Rent Supplement on 19/5/15 as her spouse is in full time employment. If there has been any change in the client's circumstances, they should provide documentary evidence to the Department confirming same, in order for their entitlement to Rent Supplement to be reassessed.

There is no record in the Department of an application for rent supplement from the person concerned at this address and it is not possible to answer the question without relevant details being appropriately supplied and investigated. According to the Department's records, the person concerned is currently living at an address in Leixlip, Co Kildare and is currently receiving payments of jobseeker's allowance at that address. If her circumstances change she should notify the Department immediately.
