    When most people say Rent Allowance, they are generally referring to Rent Supplement, which is paid by the Community Welfare Officer of the HSE for private rented accommodation. If this is what you mean, according to the Citizens Information website (here) if you are on a Community Employment Scheme
    the amount of Rent Supplement which you get may be reduced.

    I presume this is what you're enquiring about.

    If you are talking about Rent Allowance, this is a different payment, which is payable to tenants of certain dwellings affected by the de-control of rents on 26 July 1982.

    According to the Social Welfare Guidelines page:
    Rent Allowance is not assessable as means for other Social Welfare or Health Service Executive payments.

    I don't see any mention on the Rent Allowance Guidelines page of CE Schemes.
