People have been warned they could be entitled to thousands of pounds annually that they're currently not claiming. HM Revenue & Customs has used social media to alert people they might be "missing out" on as much as £2,000 each year - or potentially more for families with disabled children.

In a message posted on X, it stated: " Could you be missing out on childcare savings? Here's what you need to know! Sign up for Tax-Free Childcare and save up to £2,000 a year per child on approved childcare costs."

The message continues: "You may be eigible to get up to £500 every three months (£2,000 per year) per child. If your child is disabled, this increases to £1,000 every three months (£4,000 per year
