Passported benefits are a powerful tool to provide extra support to vulnerable people (e.g. single parents and households with a member with a disability) and can be worth up to £1,200 per year. Meanwhile, social tariffs can save vulnerable customers £670/year.
Passported benefits and social tariffs are especially useful during the ongoing cost of living as they reduce essential households’ expenses such as bills (e.g. Warm Home Discount, Winter Fuel Payment, Social Tariffs) or food (e.g. Free School Meals, Best Start Grant and Best Start Food).
