In June 2009 it was reduced by €26.
The CWO does not deal with MIS anymore, it is dealt with HSE Special Housing Unit who are impossible to contact.
It has been reduced from approx €400pm to €100pm, which I think is a hell of alot!
Ali,
The unit that mcb is talking about is specific to HSE East only - central units which deal with Rent Supplement and Mortgage Interest Supplement claims have been set up to try to relieve the pressure on other CWOs. If you are dealing with a CWO in a health centre, then you continue to do so until you're advised otherwise by the CWO concerned.
Many thanks for that Gipimann

Update
I got another letter today in relation to my MIS to inform me that it is now being stopped altogether, without any notice. I rang the HSE Housing Unit in relation to the MIS and I was informed that it is being stopped because I have been on it for 12 months and that was that.
I was never informed of this when I was first applying for MIS. I really dont know how I am going to financially manage without out.
Any advice
PS I did appeal their decision when they informed me that it was being reduced but it will take months for this outcome
Ali,
There has been no change what so ever in my income or the mortgage or no mortgage arrears. I am on a 3 yr fixed rate. Basically things are the exact same as they were 12 months ago.
The income that I am on is all SW based as my husband walked out on me and our 3 kids xmas '08.
I dont understand it at all. I would be better off selling house and getting rent allowance from SW!! I was getting approx €400 pm in MIS and if I rented i would get approx €1000pm towards rent. Doesnt make sense to me at all.
I dont know what to do.
