Personal independence payment appeals, Make-up

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We investigate why nearly two thirds of claimants of Personal Independence Payments are successful when they appeal the decision at independent tribunals. The Shadow Minister for Disabled People, Debbie Abrahams, joins us. Big cosmetics companies are reporting a surge in sales of makeup. We speak to beauty fans and Make-Up Artist Lisa Eldridge about why we're spending more. In a week-long partnership with Radio 4's Farming Today, we report on how Dairy Farmers are having to diversify to make other products than just produce milk. Charities are spending 20% more on TV Advertising now than two years ago. In light of the recent bad publicity, we discuss if they're spending the money wisely. And, we have the latest news on the sale of BHS and look at where its customers would go if it does disappear from the High Street.
