Some 100,000 people across the UK could be entitled to up to £6,000 cash back due to an error by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) according to Money Saving Expert, Martin Lewis. The financial guru has now urged Brits to make a claim.
As Martin took to his 90-minute long show on ITV on Tuesday, February 21, he implored people to act now. He explained on The Martin Lewis Money Show Live: "Make sure you look this up if it smells like it is relevant to you or someone you know. There are hundreds of thousands due an average of £6,000 back in underpaid state pensions because of a former DWP error."
Martin added that the sector of the community that may have been underpaid included: "Married women and widows", but added that "It's complicated."
