150. To ask the Minister for Social Protection when rent allowance which was discontinued on foot of discontinuation of jobseeker's allowance will be restored in the case of a person (details supplied), the basis on which cessation is vehemently denied; if steps will be taken to restore payments while the case is on appeal; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In line with a review of entitlement to rent supplement, the person concerned was requested on 13/2/17 to provide documentation to the Department confirming her combined household income including verification of income for all residents in her rental property. This documentation is still outstanding. A further request for the relevant documentation was issued to the person concerned on 9/5/17.

On receipt of the requested documentation, the ongoing rate of rent supplement will be reviewed and a decision will issue accordingly.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
