Good Morning Britain's Martin Lewis said people could qualify for extra support as temperatures drop.
The finance guru fronted today's edition of the ITV news programme alongside Susanna Reid. The two were joined by Alex Beresford who issued a grim weather forecast as icy conditions sweep across the UK.
The bleak prediction prompted Martin to step in as he spotted the wintry weather could mean people qualify for DWP Cold Weather Payments. The support is available to people in areas where the Met Office has forecasted mean average temperatures to be be zero or below for seven consecutive days.
