Hi guys,
New to the forum. I am my wife's advocat and deal with all her financial affairs post suffering a stroke. She has qualified for the ESA payment but I am not sure if she also qualifies for free NHS prescriptions. Can any one please advise?
Thanks.

New-Style ESA doesn't qualify you for NHS help I'm afraid. If there's any entitlement to UC you may be eligible that way. I have posted a link below which explains things better and whether or not your wife could be eligible for a HC2.
