Disability Rights UK and the Royal National Institute of Blind People urge government to ensure people can continue to use cash.

Economic Secretary Emma Reynolds said last month shops will not be forced to accept cash.

The BBC has heard from disabled people and their families who fear losing access to cash would limit their independence.

A Treasury spokesperson said individual businesses can decide which payment methods they accept.
