Bridgwater take advantage of free TV licence
MORE than 5,000 Bridgwater pensioners aged 75 or over are enjoying a free TV licence, according to new figures.
As part of a month-long awareness campaign, TV Licensing is reminding people aged over 75 they are eligible for a free TV licence at their main address.
Although the concession is free, it must be applied for in order for the address to be correctly licensed.
In addition, anyone aged between 74 and 75 can apply for a short-term licence for which the customer will only have to pay for a partial licence which will cover them until their 75th birthday.
To apply, call 0300 790 6154 or visit tvlicensing.co.uk/over75info or for more age-related information and expert advice contact Age UK Advice on 0800 169 6565.
