The person concerned is receiving the correct rate of Rent Supplement Support based on their circumstances.

A Rent Supplement Review took place on 5th November 2018. The person's Rent Supplement was calculated based on their Jobseekers Allowance and their part-time earnings at the time.

Their next Rent Supplement Review is due on 11th March 2019. Should there be any change in their circumstances prior to this date, they should contact my Department.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
