A woman has revealed she bagged herself £18,000 from DWP after following advice shared by Money Saving Expert founder, Martin Lewis. During last night's (Oct 25) instalment of the Martin Lewis Money Show on ITV, co-host Angelica Bell showed the email the woman sent regarding her huge payment.
She explained she was only able to get the thousands of pounds from the taxman after making use of a pensions tax trick, which many people are not aware of or failing to claim, according to Martin. During the programme, the financial guru went into detail about the 'big money' trick, along with the specific circumstances that make people eligible.
He told people watching the show from home that hundreds of thousands of people, mostly women, could be eligible to be owed at least £6,000 each, as reported by YorkshireLive.
