I took it because I didn't wait for a letter (having checked the advice said that, as long as you were eligible you didn't need to).
Largely for if I got challenged though I suspect the bus pass would have sufficed.
As I'd booked on-line and was "in the system" I suspect I'd have been processed even I were 40! (especially as there was no queue).
The letter/text will trump everything if you waIt for it, but having your NHS number seems to be the main thing.
