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:
Government re-advertising for new Director of Public Health
New Chairman at Ramsey Commissioners
Motorcyclist flown to UK for treatment after Ballamodha crash
Surge in first time buyers enquiring about mortgages
Air ambulance involved in Ballaugh collision response
Braddan Commissioners petitioning DOI for £475,000 for housing maintenance
