Martin Lewis says over 65s could be due £3,300 'income boost'

Over 65s in the UK could be missing out extra cash, according to MoneySavingExpert founder, Martin Lewis. And that extra money could add up to £3,300 for some.

The consumer champion announced that he'd teamed up with the Government on a campaign to assist with what he termed "a national tragedy". Martin Lewis has claimed millions of pensioners are missing out on a major income boost.

Taking to his regular consumer email update and posting on the MoneySavingExpert website, Martin offered up three pension credit "need to knows" for those aged over 65 with an income that is less than £200 per week. Alongside this he said, "...it's a national tragedy that getting on for a million pensioners, many of whom have been paying into the system for years, are missing out on a major income boost."
