Gambling, Personal Independence Payments and Homes For a Pound
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
The Gambling Commission issues new guidance today for gambling companies who want to make customers VIPs. We hear from a gambler who was made a VIP without an affordability check, and ran up debts of £40,000. MPs hear record levels of evidence damning the assessment system for Personal Independence Payments. We speak to the man who's already carried out two inquiries for the government and ask him why nothing seems to change. Why dentists are fed up to the back teeth with late payments from Capita. And the rundown homes sold for £1 five years ago. What are they like now? Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Olive Clancy.
