Money Box

Available for over a year

A woman has won a Supreme Court battle over access to her late partner's occupational pension. Will this now strengthen pension rights for millions more unmarried couples? Could the impact be felt wider still in other areas of cohabiting couples' personal finances? Ofgem has announced details of a price cap for customers on prepayment meters. How will it work in practise? And the elderly couple systematically defrauded of their life savings of almost £200k across a couple of months. Many of the payments were withdrawn and paid in again within minutes at the same bank branch. Presenter: Paul Lewis Producer: Alex Lewis Editor: Andrew Smith.
