About all you get free is the winter heating allowance when you are 60.
You can also get a bus pass at 65.

If you are male in the US and turn 50 you get a
Colonoscopy.
It ain't free, though. Trust me, even if it's covered by insurance you still pay for it.

You get a free eye test and help with the cost of glasses, but it still costs a fortune for a pair, you can get free dental work as well, that's if you can find a NHS dentist but they are very few and far between.
Sorry but it's not worth getting old for the free stuff.
