Paul Lewis and a panel of expert guests answer your questions about benefits and tax credits. Could you be missing out on valuable financial help? People failed to claim up to £10.5bn in income-related benefits in 2007-08, according to the Department for Work and Pensions. And Carers UK says that more than a third of entitled people miss out on benefits like Carer's Allowance because they do not realise they can claim them. If you have a question about benefits or tax credits, you can call the programme for expert advice. The number to ring is 03700 100 444 and lines open on Wednesday at 1330 BST. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be more expensive. Producer: Ruth Alexander.
