The Money Saving Expert has reminded working families they could get government help if they earn under a certain amount
Martin Lewis has reminded households with earnings under £35k that they could be in line for extra government help towards rent and bills. And it could mean an extra £6,000 in their pockets.
What help can households get? Households with a total income of less than £35,000 a year could get up to £5,800 in basic Universal Credit payments – a combination of housing and living costs. In order to get the help, these higher earners could get extra financial assistance if they have children and face increased childcare costs.
'If you’ve got children and you’re paying for childcare and you’re paying for rent, you could still be entitled to Universal Credit. So that’s my rule of thumb, family income below 40 grand.'
