Parents not able to claim Test and Trace Support Payment
Parents unable to claim for Test and Trace payment, plans to expand shared ownership and young people encouraged to pay into a Gov-funded Lifetime ISA unable to claim UC.
Money Box investigates why parents who have to take unpaid leave to look after children who need to self isolate are unable to claim the £500 Test and Trace support payment.
The Government wants to expand shared ownership as part of a five year housing plan. But is part renting, part buying a leasehold flat really a staircase to heaven?
And why young people that the government has encouraged to pay into a Lifetime ISA account are unable to receive Universal Credit.
