Some on here would say 80 is still young.
Are you in the UK?
If you are asking about the UK, the answer is no- the tax allowance increases at age 65 but doesn't change again at 80.
However the state pension can change

The tax allowance increases at 65 and at 75, but not at 80.
Note that these allowances are being "modified" (i.e. eventually scrapped):

From 2013-14, the availability of the "age-related" income tax personal allowances will be restricted. The allowance of £10,500 for 2012-13, available to people aged 65 to 74 will be restricted to people born after 5 April 1938 but before 6 April 1948. The allowance of £10,660 for 2012-13, available to people aged 75 and over will be restricted to people born before 6 April 1938.
From 2013-14, the amounts of these allowances will not be increased.
basically he will have more benefits as his assessee type will change

ememption limit is increased
I'm puzzled as to why this site seems to be attracting quite a few new members posting /answering questions about income tax forms and allowances in India.
This site seems to show the rates
