Social tariffs

2 Posts
Hi I read just yesterday that Mobile and broadband companies are offering a social tariff for those struggling and the Costs are £15-20 pmth for broadband. To be eligible you need to be on Universal credit or pension credit with Sky. I'm with sky but on the old legacy benefit of employment and support allowance do wouldn't get the deal. Does anyone know who or how to get ESA and any other legacy benefits added to the eligibile list. Rather annoying.

You need to be receiving income-related Employment and Support Allowance to qualify for Home Essentials. People on contribution-based only ESA are not eligible. If you receive both income and contribution-based ESA, your income-based JSA must be higher.
There are others like above BT, also virgin: https://www.virginmedia.com/broadband/low-income-families
BT offer fibre and calls so if you can get 30MBs+ at home it might be a good price
