i work full time but have to support my child from my first marriage. My diet is very expensive. do i qulaify for help with cost of the NHS as i have an allergy to foods with these ingedients in it?
No it’s unfair. A child up to age 16 can get free ‘food’ if they had biopsy/coeliac tests or consultant recommendations,but you can save something by buying a PPC.
People who have to pay for more than 5 prescription items in 4 months, or 14 items in 12 months, could save money by buying a PPC. Details of the current prescription charge and pre-payment certificate costs are available from leaflet HC12 – Charges and optical voucher values.
Tesco now stocks the best range for any supermarket and the prices have come down greatly esp own brand gluten/wheat free.
See website that has fair prices:
