The plan is to offer free licenses only to those on Pension Credit and/or only those over 80 years of age.

Actually, what is just as worrying is just how many people in East Devon are already receiving pension credit because they have incomes below the poverty line.

“In Tiverton and Honiton (Neil Parish), there are 9,730 households with someone over 75 who qualifies for a free TV licence; 3,640 households would lose free TV licence eligibility if the age threshold was raised to 80, and 7,980 households would lose eligibility if it the benefit was linked to Pension Credit.”

In East Devon (Hugo Swire), there are 10,350 households with someone over 75 who qualifies for a free TV licence; 3,590 households would lose free TV licence eligibility if the age threshold was raised to 80, and 8,830 households would lose eligibility if it the benefit was linked to Pension Credit.”
