Martin Lewis quite literally put his head in his hands during Tuesday's edition of The Martin Lewis Money Show. The journalist and money guru, 50, was giving his best Cost of Living hacks during the episode, which aired on ITV1 on February 7.
During the live show, Martin addressed support payments that people have been receiving. "That long promised £200 energy support cost of living payment was started to be paid out yesterday and I'm told it should finish being paid out this month," he explained. "It is automatically paid through your electricity supplier unless your fully off grid and don't have electricity, in which case, you will need to apply later in February. Those on pre-payment you'll get vouchers. They'll email you, they'll post it or they may text you about it so watch out for that."
When hearing that some households are yet to receive the payment, Martin fumed: "So many people haven't redeemed their vouchers on the £400 on pre pay. 20% of often the most vulnerable people haven't redeemed them and it's absolutely tragic for October and November."
