The television licence remains one of those household costs many people pay automatically, even when they may be entitled to help. For pensioners on low incomes, the difference is not small: the right benefit status can turn a standard annual bill into a free licence.

The key rule is specific, not universal. Being over State Pension age alone is not enough. A free television licence is available for people aged 75 or over who receive Pension Credit, or who live with a partner receiving Pension Credit. GOV.UK confirms that the licence then covers everyone living at the same address.
