STUDENTS returning home to the Furness area for the summer are being remindedthey may be entitled to TV licence refunds.

Since April 1, TV Licensing changed the way refunds are calculated, meaning more students will benefit from a refund as they can claim for any full months left on their license.

Applying is simple and can be done online or over the phone.

Caroline McCourt, spokesperson for TV Licensing, said: "Applying for a refund is quick and easy and we encourage all students who are eligible to take advantage of it."

To arrange a refund, visit: www.tvlicensing.co.uk/studentinfo, or call 0300 790 6113.
