The government want to align prescription charges age exemption with the current state pension age - 66.
This could mean people aged between 60-66 will have to start paying, or it might allow those already in receipt to continue, but no new exemptions at the age of 60.

This is in addition to robbing pensioners of the triple lock last year.
Are they trying to lose the old uns votes?
