The Rent Supplement claim for the client concerned was recently awarded as an exceptional measure due to extenuating family circumstances. As this claim is awarded in excess of the maximum applicable limits, it will be subject to ongoing review by the Department.
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
