Is it changing? Sadly the page which might tell us has gone:

The full Freedom Pass has the same entitlement age as the national bus
pass, which is the steadily-rising female retirement age (currently about
63).

OK, but that sliding scale was fixed some time ago, and isn't "receding" as claimed.

The scale is fixed, but the eligible age is increasing. I think some people
fear that it might be raised faster than that, but it's not really an issue
for Londoners.

But Londoners aged from 60 upwards get a 60+ Oyster card which has the
same goodies within London.

What's needed to prove residence - does it have to be "named on a council
tax bill" for example?

I can't remember but it's something like that.
