NHS Car leasing

Caz2702

My sister is a community nurse and desperately needs a new car. She has been accept onto this scheme but has been told that this will affect her housing benefit as it will be shown as an income? I just wanted to check if this sounds right? She needs the car to do the job and  as a single parent she can’t buy something decent outright. Thank you

This is worth a read.

She really does need to fully understand what she is getting involved in before signing up for this. It may be a good thing but she must understand the consequences.

For example it may reduce her pension and it will result in her receiving a company car benefit on which tax will be payable.

Personally I found it a very expensive way to lease a car. I now lease mine £200+ per month cheaper through a general car lease company.
