Rental Health: Housing benefits frozen as rents rise

The latest news from the world of personal finance plus advice for those trying to make the most of their money.

Felicity Hannah starts a week of Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ coverage on the theme of Rental Health. For Money Box she examines the 3 year freeze in Local Housing Allowance (the portion of Universal Credit designed to cover housing) is leaving some on low incomes struggling to afford rental properties.

Also on this episode as NatWest become the latest bank to impose restrictions on how much their customers can spend on crypto platforms and exchanges we ask if it’s ever a good idea to invest in this area.

And we'll have advice for you if you've lost money through a push payment scam.
