Reverse the decision to charge aTV licence fee for the over 75s

Petition Details

Many over 75s do not qualify for Pension Credit so those will have to pay, or be without a TV, most pensioners only company is their TV, If this proposal come into effect next year it will create tremendous social damage to the elderly

Additional Information

Please look at other ways to recover this money, i e. You could give less tax advantages to the very wealthy, you could even make the TV licence ,credited at the moment to the over 75s, taxable as Benefit in Kind. I am quite sure the cost could be recovered in other ways given the willingness to do so.
