Car Finance Claims, Mini Menus, ADHD Prescriptions

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Its estimated that up to 14 million people could be owed compensation in the mis-sold car finance scandal according to the FCA. Claims Management Companies and law firms have been advertising heavily to get people to sign up with them to pursue these claims on their behalf. We've been investigating complaints about a company called Complex Law after people found they had been signed up to a contract with the firm without realising. We explore the rise of weight-loss menus as some restaurants reduce portion sizes to meet the needs of those on weight loss jabs. We hear from someone who's been on them about how they impacted their experience of dining out plus new research from specialist hospitality insight company KAM Insight which found that 65% of people taking weight loss drugs now eat different types of food when dining out including smaller meals. Dozens of people with ADHD have told You and Yours they are facing covering the costs for their ADHD medication, totaling hundreds of pounds a month in some cases. Previously the costs were covered by something called Shared Care, which allows GPs to issue prescriptions for medication for a condition that was diagnosed by a private clinic. However several sources tell us that some GPs are deciding to end shared care agreements leaving patients liable for costs. We hear from someone impacted and facing a bill of £500 a month for a private prescription plus the British Medical Association. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: CATHERINE EARLAM
