Answer:
DLA and Incap benefit no longer automatically qualifies you for free treatment, but you can at least apply if you are not working or on a low income. Get an HC1 form from benefits office or pharmacy.

Answer:
Yes you can . Hope my answer helps.

Answer:
Thought everyone who was receiving benefits was entitled to help with these charges?

Answer:
If you have to pay for prescriptions, you have to pay for your glasses too and everybody can get help with dental treatment. Google NHS dental charges.

Answer:
Yes but with you get free basic dental work and cheap eyes frame. Most of dentist under NHS are not very good…

Answer:
No, neither are 'passport' benefits, which is bizzare as they are the only two specifically for health issues, you don't get free prescriptions with them either!
