TV Licence Fees Drop But Concessions Help | Leeds News

from Leeds News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

BBC TV Licence revenue has plummeted by over a billion dollars in real terms over the past decade, with half a million fewer sales this year alone — but there’s hope: new concessions are helping. The current fee is $180 for colour TV, recently hiked, but seniors aged 75+ on Pension Credit get it free (apply even if you’re 74). Blind individuals or those living with a blind person pay just $90 with proof of certification. And residents over 60 in care homes or sheltered accommodation — whether retired or disabled — can pay just $7.50, with housing managers assisting applications. Plus, a World Cup QR code campaign reportedly helped boost sales. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
