Martin Lewis issues warning to everyone over 45 who pays into state pension

Financial journalist Martin Lewis has issued a 'call to arms' to anyone aged between 45 to 70 who are expecting to receive a state pension.

The money saving expert said more cash could land in their bank account if they check how many National Insurance years they have.

Speaking on his latest episode of Martin Lewis Money Show Live, which celebrated 10 years of the show, he explained that traditionally, people will pay National Insurance for at least 35 years to end up with the full state pension. However, some people will have a shortfall, he warns, due to not paying the full amount if they are on a low income or moved abroad at some point.
