    If you are on illness benefit is it off work, or sick while on JSA/JSB

    If your off work on IB then No you are not entitled to it because RA is a long process in order to obtain and when on IB it is assumed you will get better however long it takes and return to work at some stage, if however you are on JSB or JSA and got sick and are now on IB then you may be entitled to RA but there is certain criteria that you have to meet

    This is the information on Rent Supplement:
    http://www.welfare.ie/EN/Schemes/SupplementaryWelfareAllowance/Pages/RentSupplement.aspx
    There is nothing there or in the guidelines that state someone on Illness Benefit cannot receive Rent Supplement.
    It is a means tested payment so any income above Social Welfare rates would be assessed.
