WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR SOCIAL SECURITY BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 10th MAY 2016
Question
Will the Minister state whether, in all cases, the maximum accommodation component available for an Income Support claimant living in an Andium property is sufficient to cover the full rent?
Answer
Since April 2014, the accommodation component of Income Support for social housing tenants has been linked automatically to the actual rent of the property occupied, on condition that the property is appropriate to the needs of the household. Social housing tenants include tenants of Andium Homes, Jersey Homes Trust, Les Vaux Housing Trust, Christians together in Jersey Housing Trust and the FB Cottages Housing Trust.
The full rent is also covered if the tenant is under-occupying the property but is engaged in the transfer process to an appropriate unit.
