Deputy Bernard J. Durkan
asked the
Minister for Social and Family Affairs
when rent support will issue in the case of persons (details supplied) in County Kildare; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
[22041/09]
Minister for Social and Family Affairs (Deputy Mary Hanafin):
The position remains as advised in Parliamentary Question 320 which I answered for the Deputy on 12 May 2009. The Executive has advised that rent supplement was refused as total household income was deemed to be sufficient to meet the accommodation costs of the person concerned. He appealed against this decision to an Appeals Officer of the Executive but that appeal was unsuccessful. The person concerned was notified of the Appeals Officer’s decision on 19 February 2009 and advised of a further right of appeal to the Chief Appeals Officer of the Department of Social and Family Affairs. No such appeal has been received to date.
