As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, money expert Martin Lewis is urging people to carry out a 10-minute check to ensure they are not among the millions missing out on benefits.
The founder of the Money Saving Expert website says that an estimated 7.5m households earning less than £40,000 of income could be missing out and urged families to take time to check which benefits they may be entitled to.
The website points that a "common misconception" is that benefits are available only to the unemployed and, in its latest newsletter, it urges households across the UK with a combined income of less than £40,000 to use a benefits calculator to see if they can receive extra Government support with bills.
