Small businesses 'overlooked' in energy crisis
Have small businesses been overlooked in the energy crisis? Students denied access to healthcare. Can they claim for going private? And contactless payment limit increases to £100.
Hundreds of thousands of small businesses are not covered by the energy price cap which sets a maximum charge for each unit of electricity and gas. The existing cap only applies to domestic customers. Many small businesses have seen their bills soar over the last few weeks.
Edinburgh University is denying some students access to its healthcare service because the GP register is full. But can the students claim for having to go private?
And the contactless payment limit on your cards will rise to £100 next Friday. Some banks are letting customers choose their limit.
