Martin Lewis issues pension warning with millions at risk of missing out on £5,000 boost

Martin Lewis has recently sent out an urgent warning to those aged between 45 and 70 who pay into a state pension - as they could miss out on a cash boost potentially worth thousands of pounds.

The finances ace told viewers of his Money Show that they could add an extra £5,000 to their pension pots, but only if they act fast.

Speaking on the ITV show, the MoneySavingExpert founder told how the national insurance perk depends on how many payments you have contributed so far. He went on to explain that anyone who has paid in the maximum amount will see the biggest boost upon retirement.
