I am advised that the Rent Supplement claim is in payment based on the application and documentation submitted by the person concerned.

My Department has not been made aware of any change in circumstances. If there has been a change of circumstance, the person concerned should contact my Department to seek a review of their Rent Supplement payment.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
