The Money Saving Expert told his ITV show viewers to 'watch out' for the letter
Martin Lewis has urged Brits to keep an eye out for a letter from HMRC which could be worth thousands of pounds.
He explained how one person was able to claim back £30,000 due to the letter. Martin explained: "His Majesty's Revenue and Customs is sending letters to hundreds of thousands of over 65s, 66 and older.READ MORE: Government announces new bus measures to help millions with cost of travel "I got a success on this today, 30 grand, that's why I say don't bin it. Younger people will be able to do this later or you could look into doing it now but you will get your letters later. It's basically because those who were caring for their family and not working should have been getting National Insurance boosts but weren't."
HRP was a scheme to help protect parents’ and carers’ entitlement to State Pensions. National Insurance credits replaced HRP from April 2010. The amount of State Pension someone gets is based on their National Insurance record and the number of ‘qualifying years’ they have.
