    How to apply

    To apply, fill in an application form for Rent Supplement (pdf). The Department of Social Protection's representative (formerly known as the Community Welfare Officer) or local Citizens Information Service can help you fill in this form.

    Part of the form will need to be filled in by your landlord or their agent. Your landlord will need to provide their tax reference number (normally their PPS number) to the Department of Social Protection (DSP). If your landlord does not wish to fill in the form a separate form (SWA 3C) (pdf) is available. If your landlord does not have a tax reference number, they should state this in writing to the DSP and explain why this is the case. Your Rent Supplement may not be paid if your landlord has not given their tax number to the DSP or has not explained why they do not have one.

    Another part of the form may need to be filled in by your local authority, to confirm you are on their housing list and have a housing need (if you are not exempt from this rule).

    You also need to bring the following documents:

    Identity documents for you and your dependents, such as full Birth Certificates, passports, driving license, work permit, immigration (GNIB) card, etc.
    Documents to show your income and financial situation, such as, pay slips, P45, P35, P60, bank statements, etc.
    Documents to prove where you live, such as electricity, gas or phone bills, etc.
    Documents relating to your tenancy, such as your rent book, lease or tenancy agreement.
    The Department of Social Protection's representative (formerly known as the Community Welfare Officer) usually visits you to confirm your circumstances.
