Are care services in retirement complexes guaranteed?

How living in a retirement complex may not live up to the glossy brochure. Government has promised same-day advances for Universal Credit claimants and what is open banking?

And Open Banking - we're promised it will revolutionise the way we organise our finances. But what exactly is it and how secure will your data be?
