Martin Lewis has urged people to check if they may be eligible for a council tax discount that could axe future bills, as many seem to be missing out.
In research conducted in 2016, the finance guru found that a "worrying number of the country's most vulnerable were missing out." Martin also found that it was more of a "postcode lottery" than anything else, with people 77 times more likely to get it with some councils than others - and 'mystery shopping' that showed 68 per cent of frontline staff didn't or couldn't explain it properly.
On his popular website, Martin said: "We've campaigned hard to improve things ever since, with big plaudits to the Welsh Government, who in 2019 took up our recommendations, streamlined the process, printed brochures and ensured payments are always back-datable.
