Martin Lewis has urged people to check if they are entitled to help despite not claiming benefits.
The Money Saving Expert said millions are losing out on help from the government by not checking if they are eligible for other allowances than Universal Credit. Martin said it is "definitely worth your time" to check if you are eligible but stressed not everyone will fit the criteria.
Martin said there are still 2.6 million people out there on "old school" benefits" such as Income Support, JSA, ESA etc. By the end of 2024, most of these will be transferred to Universal Credit.
