Rent Allowance Question

    Hey guys

    I'm just wondering if I am in any way entitled to Rent Supplement.

    I'm a mature student studying in IT Tralee and currently getting the BTEA of 188 euro per week. I'm staying in Kings Court Apartments. I asked at reception about the Rent Supplement but I didn't get a very clear answer. The woman said something to me about them not accepting the Rent Supplement as they are a management company.

    So I'm really not sure if I'm entitled or not. Could anyone help clear this up for me?

    Possibly

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Thanks for the info mango.

    It seems I'll have to wait until I'm living there 6 months anyway before I can apply.
