Help with the licence fee
If you're aged 75 or over, you are entitled to a free Over 75 TV Licence, even if you live with younger relatives or friends.
If you're aged 74 and will turn 75 before your next TV Licence is due to expire, you qualify to buy a Short Term TV Licence. This will cover your home until you turn 75, when you will be entitled to a free Over 75 TV Licence. With a Short Term TV Licence, you need only pay for the number of months between the date of your current licence expiring and your birthday.
You can find out more at the TV licensing website or you can call 0870 241 6468. You will need to give them your name, address, date of birth, National Insurance number and your current TV licence number.
