Error dating back to 1978 could mean you're owed thousands by HMRC, Martin Lewis explains
Speaking to This Morning, the Money Saving Expert founder explained that those who took time away from paid work to either look after their child or someone with a long-term disability or illness between 1978 and 2010 could have incorrect National Insurance gaps that reduce their state pension.
More than 100,000 people are thought to be affected.
"This primarily impacts women, although not solely women... between the ages of 41 and 90. Most generally, they'll be in their 60s and 70s," Lewis said.
"There could be many women who are not getting the full state pension because they should have got home responsibilities protection and they didn't get it because of an error."

Britain's ‘biggest rat' found in Yorkshire home
A supersized rat thought to be the UK's biggest has been captured by pest controllers in a home in the north of England. The giant animal, which measured 22 inches long, was found in the Normanby area of Redcar and Cleveland after a resident called in exterminators. Councillors who were sent an image of it described the rodent as 'almost the size of a small cat', and have claimed pest control issues have got 'out of control' since the end of free services for residents in the Labour -run local authority. Speaking to The Telegraph, Eston ward councillor David Taylor said the rodents were becoming 'brazen' and had 'settled into the neighbourhood'. 'The longer this is ignored, the worse it will get,' he added. 'It is a growing problem.' The council insisted it has a 'dedicated pest control officer' who works on council-owned land, and said it also 'offers advice to residents where possible'. Writing on a joint Facebook page, Mr Taylor and fellow councillor Stephen Martin said the area needed 'a proper vermin control strategy'. 'As many of you have seen, the rat infestation we raised has now made national headlines,' the pair wrote. 'What started with 100 comments on social media has grown to nearly 1,000 on Teesside Live, and now it's been picked up by both local on Teesside, Yorkshire, Birmingham, and London and national press. 'It's clear this needs a joined-up response — from government, local councils, housing providers, landlords, the NHS, commercial developers, and the water board. We need a proper vermin control strategy and fast. This situation should never have been allowed to get this bad. 'There's no doubt plenty of blame to go around, but what matters now is what we do next to stop it getting worse.' Mr Taylor said councillors would now be calling for an 'urgent action plan' including a borough-wide survey into the vermin and a treatment plan. A Redcar and Cleveland council spokesperson said: 'The council has a dedicated pest control officer who manages pest issues on council-owned land. 'While we no longer provide a wider pest control service, we do offer advice to residents where possible. 'The council continues to work with Beyond Housing, Northumbrian Water and other partners to address complex issues and explore potential solutions. 'There is also helpful guidance and preventative measures on our website to support people in dealing with pests.' The largest rat believed to have been caught in Britain measured 21 inches from tip to tail and was found in a property in Bournemouth in November 2018.

‘Cat-sized' rat found in Teesside town puts focus on pest control cuts
Cuts to council pest control services are being blamed for a town's rodent problem, which includes the discovery of a supersize rat said to be 22in (56cm) from nose to tail. The giant rat, about the length of the carry-on luggage people might be wheeling on to a flight – or, if not on holiday, a desktop monitor – was found inside a resident's home in Normanby, Teesside. 'I had to do a double take when I saw a picture of it,' said Stephen Martin, a Conservative councillor on Redcar and Cleveland council. 'You can tell by the size of the bag that it's not a normal size. It's the size of a cat.' Martin, whose Eston ward is close to where the rat was removed by a pest controller, said it was not a one-off. 'Rats are being spotted more and more around our area. It has been getting worse for a few years now.' As with many cash-strapped local authorities, Redcar and Cleveland does not offer a pest control service to private residents. Its website says officers can offer free advice over the phone, 'however, the responsibility for taking action to solve a pest problem belongs to the occupant of the property'. But Martin said many people did not have the money to pay private pest control companies. He said the rat problem often began on council or housing association land 'but they're expecting private residents to sort it out'. There are also problems with people putting the wrong waste in recycling bins. 'Instead of actually taking the bins away they are just tagging them, making the resident know it's contaminated, and it is not getting emptied,' he said. 'There's more rubbish on the ground and it is attracting more rats and they are just getting bigger and bigger and bigger.' Fellow Eston councillor David Taylor said: 'I have seen a fair few rats but nothing the size of this one. My dog [a cockapoo] can often smell rats … I wouldn't like to think she was tackling that one.' Taylor said about five housing estates had been built in quick succession locally, which affected infrastructure and moved rats from fields to urban areas. Add to that the increase in takeaway food and fly-tipping and there was a perfect storm, which needed a coordinated approach, he said. 'The rats obviously lived in the sewers but they're now walking the streets. 'The problem is UK-wide and it needs to be sorted with a joint effort. It needs government, local councils, the water boards, private landlords, shops and businesses … all to come together.' Taylor said he understood money was tight at Redcar and Cleveland council but the problem would just get worse without action. Martin said many residents had been in touch to say they had spotted rats around bins, in alleyways and crossing the street. He was sent a further picture at the weekend of rat having a go at bins during the day. Martin and Taylor are calling for a full vermin survey and treatment plan across the borough. 'The longer this is ignored, the worse it will get,' they said. A spokesperson for Redcar and Cleveland council said: 'The council has a dedicated pest control officer, who manages pest issues on council-owned land. While we no longer provide a wider pest control service, we do offer advice to residents where possible. 'The council continues to work with Beyond Housing, Northumbrian Water and other partners to address complex issues and explore potential solutions. 'There is also helpful guidance and preventive measures on our website to support people in dealing with pests.'
