Citizens who deserve protection also include pensioners and citizens who have reached a certain age threshold and who are granted various benefits ranging from travel to the payment of reduced taxes and duties.
Many bonuses are already available upon reaching the age of 60, but in this article we will focus on a benefit that concerns all citizens who have turned 70.

Precisely for these people, saving 1 euro on each postal payment slip could be very convenient, especially for those who only receive a minimum pension and have to count on the penny to make ends meet.
How do I get the discount in 2024? Unlike other bonuses, the one concerning the discount on the payment of postal slip commissions does not require an application to be submitted.
This is a concession that is automatically recognized directly at the post office counter.
The interested party will only have to declare that they are at least 70 years of age to immediately receive the discount due on each postal payment slip that they pay.
In some cases, however, an identity document may be required as proof of age which entitles you to the discount in question.
The only drawback of the postal slip bonus is that every time you pay for a slip, you will have to remind the operator at the counter that you are entitled to the discount because it is not a bonus that is registered and is legally written somewhere.
The beneficiary who has reached the age of 70, therefore, must always take care to remind the clerk at the counter that he is entitled to the age discount on the commission of postal slips.
