To get free prescriptions and dental care when not working, what forms do I need?

Monday, November 1, 2010

Just wondering how to claim free prescriptions etc when you'reon the dole.
--------------------
If you visit the dentist and need treatment/prescriptions you need to be claiming the following. Income support income based job seekers allowance pension credit have had a baby in the last 12 months or are pregnant if you are under 18 or are 18 and in full time education If you are in a young offenders institute! If you are any of the above then you are entitled to free NHS dental treatment and prescriptions. You will have to bring some form of proof of your benefit, as you have to sign an FP17 form and the dentist has to declare that he/she has seen your proof, your national number will not be classed as proof of exemption.
