It's disgusting that it's different for England than for the rest of the same nation.

(See my post at 1236).

The rules are exactly the same throughout all of England. As the qualifying age has gradually been rising (in line with the State Pension age for women), there are people on this site who qualified for their English bus passes when they were 60 but there are also people here who will have to wait until they're 68.

However, as you've previously told us how old you and your husband are, you will both qualify for your bus passes on your 66th birthdays.

Is not now the state pension age for both men and women identical?
