Yes, bus passes is possibly a bad example. The point I was tring to make was that I know an awful lot of people who enjoy Free TV Licence, winter fuel allowance etc, and as others have said, have used their Child Benefit for their Holiday spending money.

Agreed. However i think it is said that it would cost a lot to collect a little. But, if ALL benefits like Child benefit, free TV Licence, bus passes, winter fuel allowance were means tested surely that would be fairer?

But is it right that two people earning just under 50k each get to keep it, whereas one earning 60k loses it? IMO, it's an outdated benefit anyway, but surely it should be the household's total income that is takn into account?
