Aren't TV licences free for over 75's?
Yes, my wife will be eligible for one in 10 years time, not everyone on here is in the older age range, only 4 more years before I get my state pension
My wife's been in care for 2.5 years and no one's ever mentioned a TV licence, if they did I'd just ask them to take the TV out of her room, she never watches it or spends any time in there other than to sleep. Even when the TV is on in the lounge she can't follow it.
As Nitram says the home can get an ARC licence at £7.50 per room per year so on the whole scale of things that's peanuts against the cost of the room itself, any home that expects some or all or its residents to pay for a TV licence because they can't be "bothered" to apply for an ARC licence sounds a bit strange.
Could someone with AZ be taken to court for not having a TV licence? Is each room in the home registered as a separate address on the TV licencing database? Seems a bit odd to me, is it a home that's part of a group or a privately owned home?
