A fan of the MoneySavingExpert site founded by Martin Lewis discovered he could claim an extra £500 a month after following a link in the platform's newsletter. In a recent newsletter, the MSE team revealed that a user of the forum on their site, under the name Jaxster69, said he realised he was eligible to claim Universal Credit thanks to a link he spotted in one of the weekly emails.
Jaxster wrote: "Thanks to a link I spotted in one of Martin's weekly emails, I discovered I was entitled to some universal credit to boost my income. I'm now receiving over £500/month extra - which is helping me a great deal."
In the newsletter, MSE said there were about seven million people in the UK who were “missing out” on benefits they were entitled to, reports The Mirror.
