Letter: Disgrace of paying for a TV licence fee at 95

SIR — I am outraged at being asked to pay £157.50 for a TV licence after years of getting one for free.

I am 95 and my pension increased by £25 (per year) for 2020. Where does the government expect us older people to find such a sum?

A disgrace.

Whoever made that decision, let us hope they do not have to exist on a pitiful pension.

In this time of isolation, a TV is the only company some of us have.

E. Cansdale,
