Summary
Pensioners can now get a free BBC TV licence — saving £180 a year — if they’re on Pension Credit, and the government is urgently getting more people signed up, even hiring 500 extra staff to handle the surge. Applications have doubled in just six months, thanks to a simplified online process that takes just 16 minutes. Up to £4,300 a year in support is on the table — and it’s still available anytime, even after the December deadline. Thousands are missing out simply because they haven’t checked their eligibility — but now’s the time to act. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
