    rent supplement has been mostly done away with, HAP limits depend on where in the country you live and also you need to be on the housing list to access hap.

    As for swa, well this is hard to answer as swa is only a temporary payment given usually while awaiting a decision on another welfare payment.

    Are either of them on a welfare payment at the moment?
    What is there income?
    Do they have any savings?
    Are they on the housing list?
    Do they have any children?

    Thanks a lot for your reply!
    This couple on SWA(maybe it called disability allowance or something, they don't know) and Rent supplement at the moment, no other income, living in Dublin, not on HAP.
    No other income.
    No saving over 1000 on account for Rent payment.
    They on a housing list.
    No children,
    Thanks!

    im confused, if they are already on a payment, why dont they know the name of it? they would have had to applied to get it....

    And if they are already on rent supplement then why are you asking how much they should be geting?
    Are they concerned they arent getting the correct amounts?
    Its means tested and there are rent limits in the area so its idividual to their needs
