Answer
This issue is an operational matter for the Housing Executive. I understand that you have already sought and received the information you requested in AQW 6154/22-27 directly from the Chief Executive on the 6 March and 17 April 2024.The Chief Executive advised of the following:
“There are 7,236 people currently in receipt of a Discretionary Housing Payment, with 121 of those in receipt of a Discretionary Housing Payment for more than two years.”
For any future queries relating to operational matters, you may wish to contact the Northern Ireland Housing Executive directly. Making direct contact with the Northern Ireland Housing Executive will ensure that you receive the information in the shortest possible timeframe and make best use of public resources.
