It is no secret that the cost of living is spiralling and many Brits are struggling to keep up. Millions of people who rely on Universal Credit, Pension Credit or Jobseeker's Allowance could be eligible to claim additional help. In fact, a report says there are 30 additional freebies that could save thousands of pounds for those entitled to claim.
The latest figures from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) show that more than 5.8 million people in the UK depend upon state benefits to make ends meet. Nearly 40 per cent of those people are in work but being paid a low income so need a top-up.
The Express wrote that there has "never been a more important time for Britons to check they are receiving all the financial help they are entitled to" and urged those on low incomes to check if they qualify for Universal Credit or Pension Credit. These benefits ensure people have a minimum income to survive financially and could also open up the door to additional help like free prescriptions and a free TV licence.
