Transferring County Councils ( housing List question)

lazurus

Hi

Could someone offer some help.

After a long time looking for a flat in Dublin that accepts rent allowance with no luck have started to look in County Wexford Waterford and further afield.

I have been on the Housing list in Dublin for 5-6 years with Dublin City Council.

If i was to find a place in co Wexford that accepts Rent allowance could I transfer to Wexford County council housing list?

Or is it a whole new application process? could i loose my points from time spent renting in Dublin?

I am worried that because I haven't lived in Wexford for 6 months they could refuse rent allowance. even though i have been renting in Dublin for last 2 years on rent allowance while in college. Does anyone have any experience with a similar situation?

Thanks for any help or advice offered. I am trying to start a new business to get off the social welfare but for the first year need to stay on rent allowance while setting up.

any help or advice appreciated.

Housing list will in all probability be a new application,it will not matter where you were renting privately you will qualify for rent allowance.

Thanks Mp22 for the reply. I have the forms for both so will go on down with that in mind.
