Abolish TV Licence payments for over 75s

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

To continue with the current scheme of paying for the older generations TV licence. This is due to be abolished on the 31st of July 2020.
The Government need to address that on the 31st of July those who are over 75 will be made to pay for their own TV licences, this needs to change as most over that age can not afford to receive such luxury even though they deserve too.
