Anyone seen any plans from the BBC on licence fees for the over-75s ?
The government used to cover the cost, but thrust the sticky end of the stick to the BBC in their well 'ard negotiations for a new Charter. Financial responsibilty moves to the BBC over three years, from 2018/19.
If the BBC has chosen to cough for the benefit, it should be telling us soon. Currently licence fee payers are advised to start the claim process in their 74th year, arranging a shorter licence to take them to their 75th birthday.
