Bus pass time!

Recently got mine and use my bus pass quite a lot, travel into Hull from my village for a bit of a wander and some shopping, saves the hassle of driving into the city and parking the car.

Waiting for my fuel allowance soon, pays for my gas bottles for the caravan 

 Six more years 

I was 60 in January and for some strange reason was looking forward to my bus pass and was gutted when I learned it is now 66

I am considering councilling. It's traumatised me having to wait all that time 

When i was 60 i could not apply for my bus pass until i was just two weeks short of being 61 for some odd reason but that was five years ago.

Now that's a strange one. As other half qualifies for her pension the FA is paid automatically. I don't get my state pension until 65 but was eligible for FA from 62.5 when I qualified for my bus pass. As it is not automatic without a pension you have to phone. However they said if they paid it I would get £100 and OH's would reduce to £100, as it is per household. So I told them not to bother, save the paperwork. When I reach state pension age it will automatically change to £100 each.

It is a bit odd, I pay all the bills but my wife gets half the fuel allowance ........... and she won't give it back

Write your comments here...the marriage vow says richer or poorer she's richer you're poorer!

I thought it meant you could have sixteen spouses although why you would want four worse and four poorer I could never work out.
