I am getting a One-Parent Family Payment and my Rent THE MUSKERRY NEWS,CHURCH VIEW,BLARNEY,COUNTY CORK Supplement claim is being reviewed. My current rent is over the PHONE 087 2330398 / 087 2513126 FAX 021 4385030 new limit but I am tied into a lease for another 4 months. Will I [email protected] be asked to move out of my home? Answer In January 2012 the Department of Social Protection (DSP) reduced the maximum level of rent that it will accept for Rent Supplement purposes. The reduced rent limits applied to new claimants immediately. They are being applied to existing claimants when their claims are reviewed or if they move to new accommodation (see HYPERLINK "http://www.citizensinformation.ie/"citizensinformation.ie for the limits, which vary from area to area). In your situation the DSP will ask you to re-negotiate your rent with your landlord. If the landlord insists that the terms of the current lease are not negotiable and does not reduce the rent to the new limits, the DSP representative (formerly known as the Community Welfare Officer or CWO) will discuss your options with you. These may include seeking other accommodation. If this occurs you will continue to be paid Rent Supplement for a reasonable period of time while you secure new accommodation. In some cases Rent Supplement can be paid at the discretion of the DSP There was a great turn out at the Blarney Chamber of representative where the rent is over the relevant limit. These situations include Commerce meeting at Griffins Garden Centre. Trevor, Candy the following: If you or a member of your household has special housing needs (for example, a Rock Lane Sweets, presented Margaret Griffin with a hamper of person with a disability in specially adapted accommodation). his traditional sweets and Cllr. Pat Burton congratulated If you will be able to pay the rent yourself within a short period, for example, if Margaret and her team for 25 years of excellence. you are taking up employment. In this case Rent Supplement at a higher rate can be paid for a short period of 6-8 weeks.
