People in England look set to miss out on a free bus pass after they retire as the rules are to change.
At present anyone in Scotland, Northern Ireland, or Wales can get a pass to use local buses for free when they reach 60.
In England the rule is that you can get a bus pass at the state pension age for women - which now stands at 66.
But in the years ahead the state pension age is set to be increased - meaning younger pensioners and retirees will not be able to get a bus pass in England, reports The Express.
The state pension age, for both men and women, will reach 67 between 2026 and 2028 under the Government's current schedule, and will rise to 68 by 2046.
To find out if you qualify for a bus pass, go to the Government's website and put in your postcode.
You will be given contact details for your local council, who will provide you with the claiming details.
As well as the bus pass, pensioners are entitled to up to £179.60 a week in state pension, if you have made contributions for at least 35 years.
State pensions can be claimed up to four months in advance of reaching the state pension age.
State pensions are not paid out automatically, they will need to be claimed. The Government will send out letters to eligible recipients no later than two months before they reach state pension age, telling them what to do.
State pensions can be claimed even if a person keeps working, potentially boosting income during a person's later years.
Initial state pension payments should arrive within five weeks of reaching state pension age, so long as they've been claimed.
Beyond this, payments will come through every four weeks.
The actual payment day a person will receive their income will depend on their National Insurance number.
The final two digits of the number will determine what day of the week the money will come through, as detailed below:
Monday - 00 to 19
Tuesday - 20 to 39
Wednesday - 40 to 59
Thursday - 60 to 79
Friday - 80 to 99
