The person concerned had their Rent Supplement claim reviewed in April 2019. The amount payable did not change as there was no change in circumstances.

My Department has not been made aware of any change in the person's circumstances since this review. If there has been a change in circumstances, such as an increase in rent, the person concerned should contact my Department and seek a new review of their Rent Supplement claim.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
