An avid fan of Martin Lewis has revealed how he saved a total of £6,600 in 2022 after following the Money Saving Expert's advice.
Thousands of households could be eligible for many benefits, but do not claim them, reports Nottinghamshire Live. However, thanks to a ten-minute check on the Money Saving website, they could find out what they are entitled to.
The website has a calculator which finds out what benefits people could be eligible to. One Martin Lewis fan, Joel, wrote into the latest newsletter to thank them for helping him saving thousands in 2022.

He wrote: "In your weekly email, you encouraged people to check if they're eligible for Universal Credit. I didn't think I'd qualify, but thought I'd check - turns out I was eligible for £550 a month!
"Thanks so much for the advice, I'd never have checked otherwise."
The calculator Joel refers to was built for MSE by benefits experts EntitledTo. This calculator can check if you are eligible for Government support, and is said to take as little as ten minutes to complete.

It was also reported this week that another fan of Martin Lewis explained that she saved £1,200 a year on childcare thanks to the weekly newsletter.
The parent, known only as Kiran, sent an email to the Money Saving Expert (MSE) website after finding information about the tax-free childcare scheme in its weekly newsletter. This scheme offers parents up to £2,000 annually per child towards costs that include nursery, childminder and wraparound care.
It is government-backed and is designed so that for every 80p you put into your tax-free childcare account, the state will add 20p.
