Martin Lewis has sounded the alarm for anyone who took time off work between 1978 and 2010 to look after children or someone with a long-term disability. It turns out that they could be owed up to £10,000 in backdated tax refunds due to a government error.
The money-saving expert shared the warning last month on X, urging Britons to check if they might be eligible for compensation. He wrote: “State Pension error! Did you take time off work (1978 to 2010) to look after children or someone with long-term disability? You could be owed £10,000s.”
