Martin Lewis flags little-known rule that could add thousands to state pension

Money Saving Expert founder Martin Lewis has shared a handy tip for grandparents - or other family members - who look after children while their parents are at work. Throughout the cost of living crisis, the financial guru has been very vocal in offering his support and advice to the public.

But as the situation worsens, even Martin himself has struggled to reassure people at times. In late September, for example, he was left "lost for words" as he was unable to help a Good Morning Britain viewer with their mortgage market woes. Despite this, he has persisted in trying to aid Brits in any way he can, and today shared a benefit called 'Specified Adult Childcare Credit', North Wales Live reports.

Writing on Twitter, Martin stated: "Please share. There's a little known benefit for grandparents who look after their grandchildren while parents work. If you're a parent of an under-12, if your parent (i.e. child's grandparent) does the childcare so you can work, you can apply to get them 'Specified Adult Childcare Credit'".
