The government says new system will give those receiving benefits better access to cheaper broadband.
From 22 August, people receiving certain benefits can ask broadband firms to check their eligibility for social tariffs.
Campaign group Digital Poverty Alliance described it as a positive first step but warned it did not go far enough. "While we still need to see the technical details, the API should help our members identify eligible customers more easily and offer them targeted support," Mr Leighton said. Nadine Dorries, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, said social tariffs were "vital for families struggling with bills".
