Show Notes

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.
