10:30 IHC welcomes new rights for people with life-shortening conditions to retire early
Today the Government announced the next steps for people with life-shortening congenital conditions to be able to gain early access to their KiwiSaver. People with four congenital conditions - Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, Huntington's disease and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder - will now be automatically entitled to withdraw from their Kiwisaver fund earlier than the age of 65. Susana speaks with the IHC's Director of Advocacy, Trish Grant about this policy change.
