Hi Everyone, I’ve just been following the discussion regarding free dental care. It says that if you or your partner receive ESA or PIP you are entitled to free dental care, does that mean that we are both entitled to it.

Hi @darren1961
Welcome to the community, how are you?
I found this on the NHS website:"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)"
