    No you not seen Martins vid on twitter. 

    I am talking about the 250,000 they said originally were not eligible not the country over all. 15 to 20% of the 250,000 that were not eligible will be now that is not the majority unless my maths is not so good

    I've watched the video and Martin Lewis freely admits that he is only guessing at figures. More people will have been helped by the change in date to 19 March, but there has always been Universal Credit as a safety net.
