THE BBC has come under attack from a charity who have warned pensioners rely on their free TV licence more than ever, as the broadcaster prepares to announce when it will scrap the universal entitlement.
Earlier this week, BBC Director General Tony Hall admitted the broadcaster will face the"difficult decision" to further delay the introduction of a controversial over-75s licence fee after being forced to postpone the payment because of the coronavirus pandemic. The BBC has faced a major backlash after announcing last year they would stop over-75s receiving free TV licences.
