Social Tariff Eligibility

Looking at the T & C’s for Smarty’s Social Tariff it doesn’t seem to include PIP, or Personal Independence Payment 😔 

By comparison, Voxi does ..

Perhaps consideration should be given to including the above ?

    Studley  Looking at point 5.29 of the T&C's, this shows income-related benefits.

    The Social Tariff was, I believe, introduced for those who specifically had a low income and yet might need internet access for things like keeping in touch with DWP or job searching.

    PIP is not an income-related benefit and so those who do not also receive an income-related benefit will not be eligible. 

    Voxi - I'll just say one thing.....they started by only being available to  customers under 30 years old.....got that wrong, didn't they?!
