Martin Lewis has issued a plea to households bringing in less than £40,000 a year — check your eligibility for Universal Credit.
The Money Saving Expert believes millions of people could be missing out on the benefit and says use of a simple benefit calculator could easily indicate whether someone is entitled to benefits or not.
Giving evidence to the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport sub-committee on Online Harms and Disinformation, Lewis stressed highlighted that not everyone earning less than £40k would get the credit, but there was no harm in checking.
