The Welsh Government has challenged the UK Government over how care leavers receiving the Welsh Government's new basic income for care leavers will be taxed.
The scheme will see some young people given £1,600 every month for two years and is designed to help those who have been brought up in care transition to adult life.
The total cost of the scheme will be £20m and an evaluation of the three-year scheme will be carried out, with the Welsh Government saying that it will be classed as a success if there have been positive improvements in areas like mental health, wellbeing, employment or education. Those eligible can get £1,600 per calendar month with no restrictions on what the money can be spent on.
