    Hi @keith0161

    Welcome to the community, how are you? 

    Firstly regarding the free proscriptions, there are quite a lot of eligibility criteria that are listed for those, so I would advise reading this NHS page to see if any of them match your circumstances.

    Secondly, I found this information on the NHS website about dental care:

    You're entitled to free NHS dental treatment if you or your spouse (including civil partner) receive:
    • Income Support
    • Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
    • Income-based Jobseeker's Allowance
    • Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
    • Universal Credit (in certain circumstances)
    Does this help?

    If you're claiming either New style ESA or Contributions based these do not entitle you to them.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
