Consumer guru Martin Lewis has sent out a message for anyone who cares for a loved one.
On Good Morning Britain during the Wallet Wednesdays segment, Martin devoted a whole section urging people to check if they are entitled to benefits as it is estimated £19b goes unclaimed per year. Co-host Susanna Reid read out a statistic that 500,000 miss out on up to £4,000 a year in carer's allowance.
She asked: "So if someone is caring for someone, how do you qualify for extra help?" Martin was in disbelief at the statistics as he stepped in and said: "It's staggering this, isn't it?"
