Free TV Licence for over-75s in Ballymoney

WITH more than 12,100 people in Northern Ireland due to turn 75 this year, TV Licensing and Age NI are reminding older TV Licence holders in Ballymoney they will be entitled to a free TV Licence on their 75th birthday.

Anyone aged 75 or over is eligible for a free TV Licence for their main address. There are currently more than 1,400 free TV Licences in force in Ballymoney - and with some 4.9 million adults over the age of 75 living in the UK, TV Licensing is encouraging those able to claim the concession to apply online or by phone.

Eligible people can register online at www.tvlicensing.co.uk/over75 or by calling 0300 790 6073. The free licence will cover all the equipment in the property, meaning family or carers living in the same home could also benefit.
