Can 80gg deduction be claimed if i received hra from previous employer??

My client resides in Bangalore. From April to June 2015 he was getting HRA from his employer. From July 2015 onwards, he switched to the new employer where he doesn't get HRA for the rent paid. So my question is, is he eligible for the 80GG deduction for the rent paid for rest 9 months??                                                            (PS) The Act says an assessee is entitled to get 80GG deduction when he is neither getting HRA or RFA.
