Switch to social tariff part way through contract

[4Cathy]

Is it possible to switch to a social tariff part way through the minimum contract term?  Don't currently qualify but likely to within 6 to 12 months (due to pension credit)

As the only qualification is you have to be a current Sky Broadband customer.

This link explains the process if you become eligible for Sky Broadband Basics.

The Sky account holder needs to be claiming Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support, Income based Jobseekers Allowance or Income based Employment Support Allowance. These are the only qualifying benefits and in order for Sky to carry out checks with DWP they will need your NI number.

Sky Broadband Basics costs £20 a month for 24 months. It includes:

Full Fibre: Sky Full Fibre 75 or 150; or
Part Fibre: Sky Broadband Superfast 35 or 80; or
Copper: Sky Broadband Essential Plus, if fibre broadband isn’t available where you live.
and; the Sky Talk Pay As You Go tariff (ie: all calls are chargeable).

Broadband Basics is only available to customers who already have Sky Broadband and to add the Sky Mobile offer, you’ll need to be taking Sky Broadband Basics, and:
a) Already have Sky Mobile and a 3GB data plan.
b) Or you can add a new 3GB data plan with Sky Mobile.
The linked Sky mobile deal is only for 12 months.

Once you are eligible you’ll need to call Sky to join. There is no equivalent offer for TV. The broadband part of the social tariff now lasts for 24 months and then reverts to the full cost but if you’re still eligible you will then need to re-apply.
