Social tariffs are available for people claiming Universal Credit, Pension Credit and some other benefits, with some providers offering deals from £15 a month.
The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport is encouraging councils to raise awareness of these products and has produced a stakeholder toolkit which includes social media materials, posters and leaflets to help councils share this information across their communications channels.
The Help for Households campaign homepage brings together over 40 support schemes that the public may be able to access depending on eligibility. There are also online tools for the public to check the support they might be eligible for and how to access it.
