Martin Lewis has issued a message to grandparents who look after their grandchildren, saying that they could be missing out on adding 'thousands' to their state pension.
The MoneySavingExpert founder has regularly taken to Twitter in order to issue advice to households to ensure they are getting all the help they are entitled to amid the cost of living crisis . Martin’s latest piece of advice was on Specified Adult Childcare credits, urging those who are eligible to apply.
Martin explained: “There’s a little known benefit for grandparents who look after their grandchildren while parents work. If you're a parent of a [child] under 12, if your parent (ie child’s grandparent) does childcare so you can work, you can apply to get them Specified Adult Childcare Credit.”
