Hi @muriel1,

I don't believe they offer this at present, but @Gondola has provided some helpful information in this post

There's a nice, clear article about the 6 month free internet access which is available under certain circumstances via Job Centres, @muriel1, here:

https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/2021/09/talktalk-launch-scheme-to-offer-jobseekers-six-months-of-free-br/

It's very specific, and not a social tariff as such - and no phone line nor TV.

@Gliwmaeden2 That scheme is for out of work jobseekers and is only available via JobCentre Plus, not directly from TalkTalk. It is not a social tariff.

Yes, I mentioned that it is not a social tariff, but it may nevertheless be relevant to the original poster's situation and other people's.

It's not something widely mentioned.

Martin Lewis thinks it's relevant enough to give it a mention today in another article about social tariffs, and with specific mention of Talktalk.

The original poster need only click on the link to assess its relevance for themselves.

HI @muriel1

We haven't launched a social tariff at this time.
