It could be worth thousands of pounds every year
Martin Lewis has told readers of his newsletter that people earning less than £60,000 could be entitled to claim certain benefits. The Money Saving Expert urged people to check if they can claim, saying that £19bn-worth of benefits were going unclaimed each year, reports the Mirror Online.
Martin explained that low income households are mostly known for claiming this particularly Department for Work and Pensions benefit. Those missing out on help mainly consist of those claiming Universal Credit or Pension Credit because they do not get it automatically and have to apply. He also urged people to check if they are eligible and make a claim for the benefit before May 19 this year.
Martin highlighted that new parents are likely missing out as they have to apply for the cash and those who didn't claim as they were high earners but are now eligible as their circumstances have changed.
