The person concerned submitted a Rent Supplement application on 18/03/2021. In order to assess entitlement to this support, a letter issued to the person concerned on 19/03/2021 requesting further information and documentation in support of her application. On receipt of the requested information and documentation the application will be assessed and a decision will issue to the person concerned.

It is not necessary for the person concerned to submit a separate application for an Exceptional Needs Payment.

I trust this clarifies the matter.
