Sky have issued a message to everyone claiming Universal Credit or State Pension.
As the cost of living rises with the inflation rate hitting a 30 year high, TV and broadband supplier Sky wants to help people hit the hardest and help them save £90 a year.
The internet provider has now launched a deal specifically claiming benefits.

Named 'Broadband Basics', the contract costs just £20 and will be for existing Sky customers who get Universal Credit or Pension Credit.
The tariff will offer 36M/bs broadband for 18 months. This type of deal usually costs £25 a month with Sky - so you would save £90 over that time, as Manchester Evening News reports.
If you need to leave your broadband deal before the 18 months is up, you won’t be charged an exit fee.
Once your contract ends, the price will revert back to your original tariff.
If you have Now TV, the same deal in available for those claiming Universal Credit or Pension Credit.
The Now broadband deal is a rolling monthly contract and while there is no exit fee,
Both deals are designed to help low income households who are struggling during the cost of living crisis.
It comes after communications regulator Ofcom warned millions of families are missing out on a £144 saving on their broadband bills by not taking advantage of social tariffs. Currently six broadband providers – BT, Community Fibre, G.Network, Hyperoptic, KCOM and Virgin Media O2 – offer at least one of these specially discounted deals.
These packages are priced at between £10 and £20 a month for broadband speeds ranging from 10Mbit/s to 67Mbit/s.
Lindsey Fussell from Ofcom said: “We’ve been calling on broadband firms to do more to support customers suffering financial hardship.
"So we’re pleased Sky has responded with a special discount for people on low incomes. We want to see all providers step up and offer these packages, and promote them more widely."
