The social tarriffs

Hi I am with Sky and have Broadband, phone and SkyQ. We only have the basic package and are paying £53 a month.  I am medically retired due to a stroke and I am on ESA and PIP. Would the social tariffs advertised by sky apply to me as it says on their site its only available for people on UC and pension credit .

Thanks for your help 
Kim Oliver

  • If the site says UC and Pension Credit are the qualifying benefits then it will not apply to you, that seems quite clear.
  • If that's your real name you might want to retract your original message. Being unidentifiable is one of the rules on here.
