its far from a done deal. rent supplement is a highly complex payment. for example you have to be on a social welfare payment, not be working in excess of a combined number of 30 hours per week, have been able to afford the rent when you moved in, be renting in excess of 6 months, adhere to the rent levels in your particular area......and on and on.
