The client concerned has been requested to provide an up to date lease agreement confirming rent increase to €1200 per month and payslips outlining his daughter’s current income from employment.

The Deputy will also be aware that the Department has been in contact with representatives from his Constituency Office in relation to outstanding documentation required from the client concerned.

This documentation has not been received to date. On receipt of same, the clients rate of Rent Supplement entitlement can be accurately re-assessed.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
