HOW many grades of pensioner are there?

A single mother can be aged anything from 13 to 40; she is a single mother and is paid benefits accordingly.

What's the difference between a 65-year-old pensioner and one aged 75? Why do I, at 69, have to wait until I am 75 for a free TV licence?

The Government says no one should be discriminated against be-cause of their age. Well, let's start with this.

Would our MP Linda Riordan, do something about this?

this guy is as bad as Mary McClurg, just being selfish to satisfy his own needs. Derek, no matter what age you put a starting limit on for something free, you will always have a lot of people just under that age who feel they are discriminated against.

then again, i presume you have a free bus pass, but i dont (because i am 35). is that age discrimination?
