Rent allowance change forcing move

Sir,– Keith Harris (“Social protection in action”, October 4th) states his rent allowance to be discontinued because his rent is above the limit.

Surely the Department of Social Protection should allow the maximum allowance to be paid and the tenant could pay the rent from their own pocket to make up the difference? – Yours, etc,
