The finance guru said hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, could be eligible to be owed at least £6,000 each
A woman has revealed she bagged herself £18,000 from HMRC after following advice shared by Money Saving Expert founder, Martin Lewis. During last night's instalment of the Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV, co-host Angelica Bell showed the email the woman sent regarding her huge payment.
He told people watching the show from home that hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, could be eligible to be owed at least £6,000 each, as reported by YorkshireLive.In the email sent in from the woman, she wrote: "After watching your show on married women's state pension, I contacted the tax department and, although it did take about 7 months, I received a cheque for £18,000.
He said: "There are hundreds of thousands of, generally women, who are due at least £6,000 pension back. Married women and widows may have been underpaid, specifically women who hit state pension age before April 6, 2016. "Now, you will get an automatic top up and it should be backdated. If your husband was 65 on or after March 17 2008, or you're a widow whose husband died after April 2008 and you're getting less than 60 per cent of his pension."
