Martin Lewis urges people on Universal Credit or other benefits to look into £1,200 DWP bonus scheme

Martin Lewis is encouraging people currently claiming Universal Credit (UC) or Tax Credits to look into an “unbeatable” bonus scheme offered by the UK Government after a money-saver thanked the consumer champion on social media for sharing details about it.

Bryan Nisbet took to Twitter on June 5 to thank the founder of MoneySavingExpert.com for sharing “great advice” on the UK Government’s Help to Save scheme, which has netted him and his wife a £1,200 bonus, due to be paid out next week.

Bryan tweeted: “@MartinSLewis thank you very much for your information regarding the government’s ‘help to save account’. I claimed UC for my wife and me and took your advice to open account in June 2020, £50 each pm gives us a free £1200 bonus next week plus our £2400 savings, great advice”
