Your weekly rent is calculated at €163 pw (it's actually slightly less than that but has probably been rounded). You calculate your weekly rent by multiplying 700 by 12 and dividing the result by 52.

You are required to pay the first €24 yourself.
Rent Supplement is calculated by subtracting 24 from 163 which is €139 per week.

So the calculation appears to be correct.
