Welfare Mitigations and Car Leasing

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Welfare Mitigations and Car Leasing

Many car leases have upper mileage limits - but what if you don’t drive enough? 

Many car leases have upper mileage limits - but what if you don’t drive enough? And we explore the Welfare Mitigations Review with panel chair Les Allamby. 

The Welfare Mitigations Review was published this week, making nine recommendations for Stormont to improve the benefits system here. Panel chair Les Allamby discusses what the report found and what needs to be done to realise its recommendations. Kevin Higgins from Advice NI offers his thoughts and speaks about the pressure the independent advice sector is under at the minute. 
Listener Sinead got in touch when she got a repair bill for her car. She had a lease agreement with a mileage limit that she adhered to, but the dealership told her the brakes had corrosion as a result of not being driven enough. Motoring expert Amanda Stretton offers top tips for car leasing, and the introduction of E10 fuel. 
Community Pharmacists have warned government over the shortage and cost of basic medicines, saying supplies could run out within weeks. Terry Maguire of the Ulster Chemists Association, explains what the issue is and what patients can do.
