in Over 50s MoneySaving
I would be interesting to see a list of freebies for over 60s (and for over 50s and 65s for example).

I'll start the over 60s one off...

Free Bus pass - contact your local council or apply online.

    Are the following still free???

    Free prescriptions from your GP.
    Free sight tests. Our free advice leaflet Better Sight gives information on eye care in later life.
    Free NHS chiropody through your GP. This can be hard to get. See our free advice leaflet Fitter Feet for practical advice on caring for your feet in later life.

    That's a shame. I've had a scout around the net, and a few things come down to location rather than purely age.

    Why not just read the existing thread, "What can you get at 60"?

    But I agree, it's all on the existing thread.

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    I did a search before starting the thread but didn't find anything. Can you please point me to the link? Thanks :confused:

    Hugs and kisses from you and the family. The memory of a surprise get-together will probably be more longlasting than presents.
