Martin Lewis urges DWP state pension claimants to apply for 'little known' benefit

Financial guru Martin Lewis is urging grandparents to claim a 'little known' benefit that could add £1,000 to their state pension.

As energy bills will be rising and the cost of living crisis continues to rumble on, the money saving expert has been taking to social media to offer as much advice as he can. While he admits he has 'run of out tools' regarding the rising cost of energy, he has been urging people to check what benefits they are entitled to.

As well as using the benefit's calculator on moneysavingexpert.com, Martin posted on Twitter on Monday October 10, to urge people who claim state pension and look after their grandchildren, when the parents (or main carer) are at work, to apply for another benefit.
