  Hi and welcome I am sorry I have never heard of EESA just as you mentioned ESA. I will tag in someone who may be able to give you advice @Adrian_Scope

  Hi @leonas and welcome to the community.
  It depends on whether your husband's ESA is income-related or contribution-based. If your husband's on income-related ESA he'd be eligible, but you can check eligibility for free prescriptions on the NHS BSA's 'check before you tick' tool.

  @leonas  Hi I’m also on ESA but was looking online at my bank statement I got paid today and it also says EESA I don’t have a clue what the extra E stands for, but I do receive free prescriptions on this benefit,  hope this is of some help.
