According to Martin Lewis, three million people in the UK are not receiving up to £1,000 in council tax support. The Money Saving Expert founder encouraged viewers to check their eligibility for these funds during a benefit phone-in on This Morning on Monday (22 April). Mr Lewis emphasized the importance of contacting your council if you are on Universal Credit or Pension Credit and not receiving Council Tax Support. Many people miss out on this benefit because they mistakenly assume that if they are eligible for Universal Credit, they will automatically receive Council Tax Support. In reality, it requires a separate application process.
