Martin Lewis has issued an important message to parents across the UK earning less than £80,000 per year.

The Money Saving Expert founder is urging parents on a salary of £80,000 or under to claim child benefit, following recent government changes to the scheme.

Appearing on This Morning on Tuesday (30 April), he said: “This is really important.

“If you are not getting child benefit and the highest earner in your family earns less than £80,000 a year, start claiming child benefit now.”
