Martin Lewis warns a million people could be missing out on Universal Credit boost of up to £1,900

Martin Lewis has warned millions of households they could be missing out on vital benefit support that could be claimed even if your household income is £50,000 a year.

Speaking to viewers of ITV's Money Show on Thursday, the consumer expert said: “Millions of you are missing out on support you are entitled to."

He explained that at least one million more people could apply for some payment from Universal Credit - a benefit aimed at those who are unemployed or working on lower incomes, usually aged between 18 and the state pension age.
