If it had been based upon State Pension age, there would have been some sort of logic to the original decision.
The cost of the TV Licence will have already been factored into the Pension amount before the age of 75. As with other benefits/credits(especially child related) the cost of certain things has already been included in the amount they receive. Things like travel costs are much more variable between circumstances and are less easy to build into the benefit amount.
