The television licence fee for over 75s was delayed due to Covid-19. Over 75s will now be required to pay this from the 1 August 2020. The only exception is if someone is in receipt of Pension Credit.
BBC to go ahead with over-75s licence fee changes
www.bbc.co.uk
More than three million households will be asked to start paying the £157.50 fee from 1 August.Shame on you bbc
It is not the BBC. This fee was paid for by central government until quite recently. However, instead of making the cut from there and alienating their voters, the responsibility for subsidy was passed onto the BBC with no increase in the BBC's budget to pay for this. The government gave the responsibility of either subsidising or scrapping the television licence. The BBC like any public service has undergone a number of cuts in recent years. Thus what was it supposed to do? The sly tactics by central government and people buy it. They even vote for it. There you go.
It would cost 20% of the entire BBC budget to fund it and many pensioners have no need of free giveaways like this. The poorest pensioners will still get it free. Maybe means testing would be good but it's all gotta be paid for somehow.
A new website triage tool is now available to help Welsh citizens find advice and support for their individual circumstances during the COVID-19 pandemic is now live.
📲https://find-coronavirus-support.service.gov.wales/start
The tool signposts to a range of information across the following themes:
➡️ Being unemployed or not having any work
➡️ Going in to work
➡️ Money / Social Housing & Private Sector
➡️ Getting food
➡️ Getting medicines
➡️ Feeling unsafe
➡️ Having somewhere to live
➡️ Mental health and wellbeing
➡️ Physical Health and Wellbeing
It also includes a new risk assessment tool for Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority People.
Whilst the tool can be used by anyone, for themselves or on behalf of someone else (including people without access to the internet), it will be particularly useful to those vulnerable to the effects of COVID-19 – whether medically or for some other reason such as due to their financial situation.
