I turn 66 next year and I will qualify for a contributory state pension. I am in the process of completing an application form for this.
I notice that there is a section that deals with the Household Benefits Package. I have a few questions that someone who has been through this process before may be able to help me with.
Is the Electricity or Gas Allowance and Free Television Licence an automatic allowance or is it means tested? There seems to be a statement that this is for those aged 70 and over only?
Thanks
