.... if free TV Licences and passports for over 80s ...
Point of Order Brian -
Are you getting yours ?
Free TV licences are for the Over-75s.
Free Passports only if born before Sept 1929 - or over 16 at the end of WWII.
Winter Fuel payments are for the over 65s or born before 1953.
Don't forget the cold weather supplements
Christmas £10 Bonus for OAPs and other qualifiers.
Free Prescriptions for OAPS.
Have I missed anything -
BEagle - I wrote to DWP a few years ago asking how I could forgo my Winter Fuel payment - They replied apologetically saying I would have to send them a cheque....
Moral - take the money, and if you can afford it - give it to a more deserving charity - Don't forget to Gift Aid it - make the Chancellor pay twice.
