Every year, people lose out on an estimated £23billion in benefits and support due to stigma or the assumption that they are not eligible.
In the MoneySaving Expert newsletter Martin Lewis recently said: “Billions in benefits goes unclaimed each year – most by workers or pensioners who have paid into the system for yonks and are in need of help.
‘Even some with higher incomes are due – don’t assume ‘it’s not me’.”
The consumer champion has rounded up seven benefits that are massively underclaimed.
Around 1.4 million people miss out on an average of up to £5,800 in Universal Credit each year.
The monthly benefit is a “catch-all” for those of working age who have low or no income and living and housing costs.
Households with incomes of up to £35,000 a year are the most likely to be missing out.
But if you have kids then high childcare costs and rent could mean you may still be eligible if your household income is up to £60,000 a year.
You can make a claim through the Government’s website or by calling the Universal Credit Helpline on 0800 328 5644.
You can check if you are eligible here.
