Money Box Live: Disability and Finance
How to manage the financial impact and additional costs of having a disability, and what steps to take to access the right support.
Research from charity Scope suggests that disabled households have to find an extra 拢1,000 pounds a month to have the same standard of living as non-disabled households.
Extra costs include, heating, equipment and transport. Having a disability can also mean navigating the benefits system - a system that Chancellor Rachel Reeves said today would undergo reform by the spring, as the government struggles to manage the rising cost of claims.
Felicity Hannah is joined by Dan White from Disability Rights UK and Sarah Coles, Head of Personal Finance at Hargreaves Lansdown.
