Comments

Hi i was just wondering if someone who is not claiming job seekers allowance but just doing the job seekers bit everyweek still entitled to a reduced price on dental treatments on the NHS?
Thankyou
Hi, I also sign on to Jobseekers but am not entitled to any money due to savings, but DO get my NI contributions paid. As I am Jobseeking, I AM entitled to free NHS dental care for common treatments ( not cosmetic stuff) as are you. Just tell the receptionist at your NHS dentist you are a Jobseeker, provide proof and they will do the rest.
Hope this helps.0 -

it depends if its income based OR contribution based. you should have a book to take with you as proof. if you are entitled to free nhs treatment then you are entitled to all treatments available on the nhs.0 -

I believe you will find you are entitled to free NHS dental treatment if you are on Income-Based JSA, not simply signing on without JSA or getting Contribution-Based JSA. So the proof you need is that you receive IB JSA.0

Most people have a book, or a letter.0 -

you wouldnt be able to have white fillings on back teeth or anything else thats classed as cosmetic. in other words, you can have the treatment that you need, not the treatment that you neccessarily (sp?) want0 -
