Hi @uncfingers3,
Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you here.
I've noticed that you've posted about this elsewhere on the community recently. You can see our Benefits Advisor's response to your discussion via. the Ask a Benefits Advisor category.Liam -
The following link will take you to the NHS Business Services Authority and explains in more detail the help available with health costs in England, Wales and Scotland. http://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/792.aspx
I hope this helpsScope

PIP isn't an income based benefit; so you won't get nay help. You'd have to be on income based ESA, income based JSA, income support or certain elements of working or child tax credits to get help.

Have you applied for an HC2 certificate ? for people on low income this can help to pay for things like dental treatment and glasses

Cazzajohno123 said:I'm on lower rate pip will I still get help with prescription and dental carNo, unfortunately not. If you're claiming certain means tested benefits then you maybe entitled. https://www.nhs.uk/nhs-services/dentists/who-is-entitled-to-free-nhs-dental-treatment-in-england/If you're not then you can look at NHS low income scheme but you will need to fill out a form. https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/nhs-low-income-scheme
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
