in Universal Credit (UC)

Hi everyone,

After completing the on line eligibility checker to see if we are entitled to help with NHS costs such as dental treatment etc it states that we are. This is due to our monthly income from my wifes earnings being below the £935 threshold and I receive LCWRA. A copy of the eligibility result is below....

How to get your help

You don't have to do anything more, although you may have to show proof you get Universal Credit to your pharmacist, optician or dentist.
You can use your latest Universal Credit award notice as proof, this can be either the letter or on your online account.

I just wanted to check if this is correct if anyone else has used this method before.

Thanks

    When my daughter goes to the dentist they've never asked her for proof of her last UC statement. Usually they just tick the UC box. If they do ask then yes show them your last UC statement.
