NEARLY 300 pensioners in Huddersfield have failed to claim their free television licence according to new figures.

TV Licencsing said as many as 280 over 75s in the area could be eligible for a free licence.

With a further 118 people turning 75 this month in Huddersfield, TV Licensing has joined forces with Age Concern to encourage everyone who is entitled to the concession to apply for it.

If you do not have a free licence and are aged 75 or over, contact TV Licensing on 0845 6036 999.
