If you apply to the NHS Low Income Scheme and receive an HC2 certificate for full help with health costs, you’re entitled to:
- free NHS prescriptions
- free NHS dental treatment
- free NHS sight tests
- help with the cost of glasses or contact lenses
- help with the cost of travelling to receive NHS treatment
- free NHS wigs and fabric supports
It's your own responsibility to check your certificate's expiry date.
If you claim help with your health costs after your certificate expires, you may have to pay a penalty charge of up to £100.
