Jonathan Burbidge, aged 19, of Century Lodge, Farnworth and Mark Heathcoat, aged 22, of Ramsey Avenue, Farnworth, were both due to appear at Bolton Magistrates Court this morning.
Both have been charged with robbery.
Burbidge is also facing an unrelated burglary charge and Heathcoath two separate unrelated burglary charges.
The pensioner, who uses a walking stick, was in High Street, Little Lever, when the offence allegedly occurred on Tuesday afternoon.
She was left shocked but unhurt.
