The Beginning:
The pension age difference also applied to the widespread extent of discriminatory treatment of older men in non-statutory concessions, such as higher entrance charges applying to men than to women in their early sixties (ie up to 65) to cinemas and theatres, football grounds, municipal swimming facilities, and to statutory concessions such as
public bus travel and medical prescription charges.
Legal Action:
With this direct way closed to equalisation of state pension age, CESPA then decided to pursue more specific targets. First, in a case brought by member Cyril Richardson, challenging the unequal ages applying to men and women
for free National Insurance medical prescriptions. In its eventual response in 1995, the ECJ ruled that the provision of medical prescriptions was nothing to do directly with state pension age and that unequal ages in this respect were thus in breach of the Directive(4).

Almost all of whatever you point out is astonishingly legitimate and it makes me ponder why I hadn’t looked at this with this light previously. This particular article truly did switch the light on for me personally as far as this particular issue goes. However at this time there is actually 1 position I am not really too comfortable with so while I make an effort to reconcile that with the main idea of your issue, permit me observe what the rest of the visitors have to point out.Very well done.
