Any changes in a client’s circumstances that may affect their entitlements should be immediately notified to the Department. The client concerned should submit to the Department an up to date Rent Supplement application form and lease agreement confirming any increase in their monthly rent. On receipt of this documentation, the client's rate of Rent Supplement entitlement can be re-assessed.

The Deputy will be aware that this question was answered in reply to Parliamentary Question No 73 of 24th September 2015 and Parliamentary Question No 187 of 29th September 2015. The situation remains, as previously outlined, i.e., that the client concerned should provide the Department with an up to date Rent Supplement application form and lease agreement in order for their entitlement to be re-assessed. This documentation has not, to date, been received by the Department.
