new rod license law
 

Don't know if you guys know, but as from 1-April-2007 people who are in
receipt of DLA, ( disability living allowance) can get a half price
concessionary license. you no longer need to be a blue badge holder. It
doesn't matter if you are on the high/med or low rate, you still qualify.

Thanks for this Clive.

priorities right.
Cheers,

Hi Alec
Funnily enough I wrote a letter of complaint to the enviroment
agency last October, complaining as to why only blue badge holders were
allowed consessions on the license.
I myself am in receipt of DLA, (to cut a long story short I have severe
depression ), it's ok I'm not a nutter. :-))
Anyway, I pointed out to them that my GP told me to get a hobby as it would
be good for theraputic reasons. and with me being on a very low income as I
live on my own etc, I found it a bit unfair under the circumstances as the
full price is a lot of money to myself.
It would appear that at last they are listening. ( hopefully) I dont agree
with the rod license at all, in any shape or form. In my opinion it should
be abolished along with the TV license. It;s ridiculous in the sense they
can fine you for coarse fishing without a license but cant touch you for sea
fishing, wheres the sense in that.

Don't really know _but_ thinking aloud maybe the EA spend much more time,
effort and money maintaining inland waterways than they do the 'sea'.

Just guessing though ......... Richard

That's a pity. Most anglers are :-)
Good luck to you mate and tight lines,
