According to the records of my Department, no application for a Rent Supplement has been received from the person concerned. It is standard procedure where a person is residing in a HAP designated area and is on a Local Authority housing list, that the person in the first instance makes an application to their Local Authority for a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP).

I trust this clarifies the matter.
