Universal Credit and PIP claimants could claw back £200 a year

Government bosses have confirmed they are working with Ofcom and broadband providers to make sure more people on a low income or certain benefits are aware of the social tariff packages they may be eligible to switch to. In September Minister Sir John Whittingdale, said that social tariffs are available in 99 per cent of the UK, from 23 providers offering broadband tariffs from £10 per month.

The quickest way to find out if you might qualify for a social tariff is to contact your supplier directly and ask. Even if you do not qualify, they may be able to offer other ways to reduce your broadband bill. Here are the providers - as per Ofcom's latest guidance - who are offering social tariff broadband packages for each benefit and in which areas. The broadband providers listed may not be available in your area, we’ve marked those that cover the entire UK as "UK".
