Martin Lewis urges households earning less than £40k to do urgent check
Martin Lewis urges households earning less than £40k to do urgent check
Published on December 02, 2022 at 09:07 AM
MARTIN Lewis has issued urgent advice to households earning less than £40,000 a year who could be missing out on extra cash.
The MoneySavingExpert founder said all families with an income less than this should check if they are entitled to Universal Credit.
Martin Lewis is urging some households to check if they can claim Universal Credit
Martin Lewis gave the warning while speaking to the Government’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sports sub-committee.
He said: “My rule of thumb is if you have family income under £40,000, then you should absolutely check on a benefits calculator whether you are entitled to Universal Credit.
“I am not saying you are entitled to universal credit, but with that income, it is absolutely worth the ten-minute check.”;
To fill in the calculator you’ll need details on your:
Savings
Income
Pensions
Existing benefits
You’ll also need your partners details if you’re in a relationship.
All your persona details will be kept anonymous
The tool covers your entitlement to most but benefits, including Universal Credit.
The calculator will work out what you’re due in low income support. It will also flag up some (but not all) relevant non-means-tested benefits that depend on circumstances such as your health.
You can apply for Universal Credit online by creating an account on the gov.uk website.
You’ll need financial information like your bank account details, form of identity, evidence of how much you make (if anything) and what your outgoings are (like rent).
In order to access the benefit, you should submit your claim within 28 days of making an account.
You will then have to attend an interview at a Jobcentre Plus, which will be within 10 days of submitting your application.
If you have a disability or health condition you may also need a work capability assessment.
People who are struggling with bills or other costs while they wait for their first payment can apply to get an advance.
Otherwise you will have to wait five weeks to receive your cash.
