Martin Lewis has helped one fan slash £500 a year off their broadband bill after learning that they could switch to a social tariff because they receive Personal Independence Payment (PIP).
Social tariffs are cheaper broadband and phone packages available for people claiming Universal Credit, Pension Credit, and selected other benefits. While they are delivered in the same way as normal packages, they are typically priced between £10 and £20 a month and can help struggling households make big savings amid the cost of living crisis.
Martin urged those who may be eligible to check whether they could be getting their broadband for less, writing on Twitter: "Are you one of millions missing out on a cheaper social tariff broadband? Our MSE broadband unbundled tool includes them alongside the best open market deals so you can compare. Please share to those on Universal Credit or similar."
