The TV licensing website says they will be sending out letters in August and September, so may be a while before some people hear.

Got our letter today. I’ve only glanced at it but it looks as though they give you two months from receipt of letter to pay. We’ll probably sort ours in the next couple of days or we’ll forget it.

Age UK advice is to wait for an official letter before taking any action.

I would have been entitled to a free licence next month - damn.

We are paid up to next January so we will just get a reminder then.

Joan, you will get a email with your new licence no. and you can then download/print off your new licence from their website.

We haven't bothered. I have made a note of the no. and can always get it if we ever have to produce it.

We had ours last week and it included leaflets and things, which presumably aren't in the scams!

You should get an official notification, but I think they are taking their time to get through the list.
Just be beware that there are scams going on at the moment.

I have not received any notification to start paying for this over 75 requirement - do I
get an official request? I'll try renewing it on line or even start a New one - but don't want to do it twice.
