The winter fuel allowance has gone for seniors. Unless you can claim for being low income or disabled. That is the bad news. m
And you have to claim for it. Alas. Unless you are poor. But the poor may be poor in three ways.
Poor People
Poor people meaning unfortunate people, as well as the poorly (sick or unwell). Poor people might be mentally or physically disabled or old. Many of the elderly haven't the know-how nor strength of will nor energy to keep dealing with forms and questions and passwords to claim. You need to read pages of instructions ... Oh, dear.
The Good news - Free TV license
The TV license means the BBC TV license. The commercial ones are paif for by advertising.
Who gets it? Single widows over seventy five. But those in couples must both be over seventy five. (Yes, that means both of an elderly couple, since the younger one presumably has income to support the other older one.)
