Winter fuel charity donations, private schools and supermarket own brands

We hear from charities who appeal for people to donate their winter fuel payments - what will the cut mean for them? Also - struggling private schools and supermarket own brands.

People are being urged to check whether they're entitled to receive the Winter Fuel Payment under the new, tighter rules that come in today. In the past, some people have chosen to donate this annual payment to charity - we'll hear from two organisations about what this will mean for the work they do. Also - in his first interview in the job, the new payments system regulator tells You and Yours about new rules to compensate fraud victims - and why he wants to cut the maximum amount of compensation that will be paid. What will VAT on private school fees mean for parents who pay for their kids' education? We also look at supermarket own brands - sales of these ranges are booming - and Boots has a new boss, so we look at how this high street institution is doing.
