Bus pass. You apply for it.
Winter fuel allowance. You apply for it.
Free TV licence. You apply for it. Or not.
Good point, but I didn't apply for winter fuel thing, it just arrived in the post.

Same here. I didn’t particularly want it, I don’t need it. I like to think I donate it to charity as I give more than that out each year to various charities or good causes.
Bus pass? I keep telling myself I’m too young to sit with all the wrinklies going to Kendal for a day out and besides, I hate buses so never use them unless abroad when it’s different. TV Licence? I’m too young at the moment but as the Beeb pays for a good part of my pension I’m quite happy to accept it🤪.
I like the Senior Railpass idea. Pay for a pass that gives you discounts.
