Is this a scam?
I recently received a letter from City Financial Investment Company Ltd saying they need to confirm my tax status. They then go on to say that new regulations require a fund(not named) in which I invest to establish whether I am a reportable person for the purposes of the regulations. Given that any income I have from any…
Wills and things
Hi everyone, I've put this question here to get a range of suggestions/comments from people who've maybe been there, done that perhaps. I own property outright and have cash in the bank (am late fifties). I've been divorced for years so it belongs to me only. I have 2 adult children, both now married. 1 set are very good…

National Express Senior travel

It says "senior" is 60+ and adult is 18-59, but has anyone…
Attendance Allowance
Dad lives with Mum and both have care needs. Do they both have to apply for attendance Allowance? Dad currently gets it. Is it per household or per person?
