    Good afternoon @clydebank70 and welcome to the online community. By certificate of entitlement do you mean  an NHS exemption certificate ?

    0800 121 4433 option 2 to bypass the message regarding the cost of living payment and then option 6. It should tell you your wife’s next payment and then it’ll ask you to press option 1 to be put through to an advisor and then you can request her certificate of entitlement.

    Finally managed today. Got there in the end! As you say not always simple! Why do they make it so difficult? Thank you all very much for your help
