Money saving expert Martin Lewis has warned anyone between the ages of 45 and 70 that missing the pensions deadline could cost them thousands of pounds.
On the Martin Lewis Podcast, the money expert issued the warning to listeners that if the state pension deadline is ignored or missed it could cost you up to £7,500.
He said:"It could leave many thousands of pounds better off, but you need to do it by the end of the tax year, April 5".
