On the day you claim help with health costs:a) You receive Universal Credit and either have no earnings or had earnings of £435 or less in your last Universal Credit assessment period;orb) You receive Universal Credit which includes an element for a child, or you (or your partner) have limited capacity for work and work related activity, and either had net earnings of £935 or less in your last Universal Credit assessment period.Note: If you are part of a couple then the net earnings threshold applies to your net earnings.You should present a copy of your Universal Credit award notice to prove your entitlement. You will need to have met the eligibility criteria in the last completed Universal Credit assessment period before your health costs arose.That was taken from within this link. http://www.healthcosts.wales.nhs.uk/dental-costsClaiming UC doesn't automatically entitled to NHS free treatment and before claiming this you need to check.

Sounds like im entitled to free nhs dental help0 -
I don't have to pay for Dental Treatment, because I am out of work & on ESA & PIP. All I have to do is show my dentist receptionist a DWP letter proving my claim & sign a sheet for clarification.1
