Benefits Blunder

Benefits Blunder
Thousands of most vulnerable people in Northern Ireland have been underpaid up to £3k in benefits following government blunder 
Mistakes in paying sickness benefits are likely to have affected more than 8,000 claimants in Northern Ireland, a Stormont department has said. The figure was revealed after a query from SDLP MLA Nichola Mallon, who said those affected have been underpaid by an average of about £3,000 each.

Sugar Tax

Sugar Tax
Sugar Tax on sugary drinks comes into force today. Will it really tackle obesity? 
From today the sugar tax comes in to force on some fizzy drinks. Depending on how much sugar is added to the drink, there'll be a levy of up to twenty four pence a litre.
This is the equivalent of 6p on a standard can of Fanta or Sprite, or 8p on a can of Coca-Cola, Pepsi, or Irn Bru.
A number of drink manufacturers have already changed their products to avoid the tax - including drinks like Ribena, Lucozade and Fanta. Some customers have hit out saying their favourite drinks no longer taste as good.
Health campaigners say the introduction of a tax is an important step in the fight against obesity.
