Martin Lewis has urged households to make sure they're not missing out on six key DWP benefits, with a staggering £19 billion going unclaimed because people don't realise they're eligible.
Appearing on ITV's Good Morning Britain, the money expert highlighted the key areas where many people are unaware that they are eligible for support. Martin said that a quarter of a million pensioners are currently missing out on Housing Benefit they're entitled to, while another half a million people do not realise they qualify for Carer's Allowance.
As well as benefits, there are also support schemes that many are unaware even exist, Martin said - such as water social tariffs, with just 20% of eligible households claiming their discount, InYourArea reports. Here are the six key areas he outlined which could be a lifeline for those struggling amid the cost of living crisis.
