Hi @stephenmburgess,
Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here.
@Sam_Scope posted a discussion in the forum earlier this year about Medical Exemption Certificates/Free Prescriptions which you may find useful. Disability Rights UK also have a factsheet available on the subject, and the NHS Choices website has a list of criteria available for free prescriptions which may be of interest to you.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions then please do get in touch!Liam -
Anyone on a low income may apply for an HC2 certificate. You can down load application form HC1. This entitles you to free prescriptions, dental care and other NHS services.
Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste
