Martin Lewis warns people to act now to get free cash

Martin Lewis is warning thousands of people who may be entitled to financial support from the government that they have just two days to act to claim the cash.

The Money Saving Expert founder took to Twitter on Friday to ask his followers to "please spread the word". Mr Lewis said almost a million pensioners are missing out on pension credit, and if they put in a claim for it by Sunday (December 18), they could also be entitled to a £324 cost of living payment from the government.

In a tweet, the finance guru said: "More than 800,000 lower income eligible pensioners miss out on pension credit, and CLAIM BY THIS SUN & as well as increased pensions there's a £324 cost of living payment too. Income under £200/wk (£300/wk couple) check it asap".
