Benefit stopped for older residents
Residents over the age of 75 must begin paying for their TV licences from today (1 September).
As agreed by Tynwald last year, the benefit - which wasn't means-tested - has been stopped for older residents.
It was formerly subsidised by the Manx government - UK residents will continue to have their fees paid by the British government.
The Manx Treasury says it was left with no choice but to remove the benefit, and it wasn't legally possible to postpone changes whilst negotiations with the BBC were ongoing.
Minister Eddie Teare explains the figures behind the controversial change:
Young people's bereavement drop in service coming to an end
Pub's inclusive toilet signs vandalised
£100K cash injection for energy efficiency scheme
Regulator investigates potential Manx Radio licence compliance issue
DoI has change of heart over seaweed clearance in Laxey Harbour
