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 拢500 Test and Trace support payment.
