All Council Tax payers who are pensioners living in London or surrounds are eligible for a Freedom Pass from age 60 (this may have been been raised to 62).



However who else is eligible?



I ask this because I saw a group of 5 guys of about age 30'ish, who could only be described as East European and evidentially unemployed, sitting on a wall in Trafalgar Square. Around their necks they each had a cord and holder with a Freedom Pass inside.



So are younger people eligible for a Freedom Pass? Are the unemployed or those on benefits also eligible? Are immigrants from the European Community eligible?



All these extra people must be putting a huge financial burden on the Councils &/or TfL.

Checking the eligibility it seems that the guys were not disabled, nor were they 'elderly.' So I wonder how they got what were clearly Freedom Passes.
