I'm surprised we get prescriptions free from 60, when most of us have to pay NI until we are at least 66.
Its easy enough to explain, when women reached pension age at 60, in line with equality laws men got certain concessions once they reached the same age as a woman who reached pension age were able to have, that included being able to claim pension credit, bus passes and free prescriptions, PC laws have changed so that you have to be pension age to get it for both men and women, the same with bus passes, but the free prescription age has not changed so is still 60
