A woman on Universal Credit was able to get £600 free cash into her bank account - thanks to advice from Martin Lewis.
The consumer guru hosted The Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV on Tuesday night, giving tips for savers looking to maximise their cash pots. And it was revealed that one viewer managed to get £600 after following his advice.
The Help To Save scheme provided a lifeline to the farmer, who was on Universal Credit. "I changed my electricity," she said. "My telephone, my broadband. I looked at all my outgoings and managed to make some savings. I have been paying £50 a month for two years - and my account showed £1,200."
