Oil Heating, Pension Scams, Dual Nationals

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Costs have more than doubled for people who use oil to heat their homes. We hear from listeners who suddenly found themselves with a large bill just as their tanks were empty, at the end of winter. Global oil prices have risen because of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East - and the energy price cap is protecting households from the rising price of gas and electricity until July - but this cap doesn't apply to heating oil. There's an appeal for more victims of pension investment fraud to come forward, with potentially millions of pounds available to be reclaimed. Plus there are changes to the rules around passports for dual nationals entering the UK. Listeners who have been caught unawares by the changes tell us what it's meant for them.
