TV Licensing

If you are registered blind (severely sight impaired), you can apply to TV Licensing for a 50 per cent reduction in the cost of your TV Licence. NB this does not apply if you are registered partially sighted (sight impaired).

You will need a certificate or document proving that you are registered blind from either your local authority or an ophthalmologist.

Post a copy of this document, along with your renewal notice and a cheque to the TV Licensing Blind Concession Group.

No matter what your level of sight loss, registered or not, if you are 75 years or older you are entitled to a free TV Licence. All you need is a National Insurance Number or a recognised document for proof of age such as a passport, UK birth certificate, UK driving licence or national identity card.

The telephone number given can also be used for general enquiries about TV Licences and paying for your licence.
