Recently got mine and use my bus pass quite a lot, travel into Hull from my village for a bit of a wander and some shopping, saves the hassle of driving into the city and parking the car.
Waiting for my fuel allowance soon, pays for my gas bottles for the caravan

Now that's a strange one. As other half qualifies for her pension the FA is paid automatically. I don't get my state pension until 65 but was eligible for FA from 62.5 when I qualified for my bus pass. As it is not automatic without a pension you have to phone. However they said if they paid it I would get £100 and OH's would reduce to £100, as it is per household. So I told them not to bother, save the paperwork. When I reach state pension age it will automatically change to £100 each.

It is a bit odd, I pay all the bills but my wife gets half the fuel allowance ........... and she won't give it back
