Has cash had its salad days?

The world of personal finance, why hundreds of flood claims have been voided, Universal Credit and the impact of Iain Duncan Smith's departure, and the new Lifetime ISA explained.

The salad bar Tossed have opened the UK's first entirely cashless restaurant.

Hundreds of people in north England and Scotland who lost their possessions and homes to the floods earlier this year have had their insurance claims voided because their properties have been declared too close - less than 400m - to the river.

Iain Duncan-Smith, the Secretary of State for Work & Pensions has resigned - what will his departure mean for working age people on benefits?

One of the big announcements of the Budget was the creation of the Lifetime ISA for the under 40's. How will it work and what does it means for the future of pensions?
