Not everyone getting Universal Credit is entitled to help with their health costs. However, it's worth knowing that some individuals on UC may qualify for exemptions, depending on their income.
If you are entitled because you get UC and your latest take-home pay is under the certain limit, you could get:
Free NHS prescriptions
Free NHS dental treatment
Free NHS sight tests
Free NHS wigs and fabric supports
Help with the cost of glasses or contact lenses
Refunds of necessary travel costs to receive NHS treatment
Please remember to pay for health costs if you're unsure of your NHS eligibility, you can claim a refund once your entitlement is confirmed.
Verifying eligibility might be challenging, so for more information, visit Help with health costs for people getting Universal Credit - NHS (www.nhs.uk) or contact us.
