    I went to specsaver as I had made the appointment - the test was £22 + new glasses £25 + varifocal lenses £39 - £96 in total and that was me choosing the cheapest options! This morning I received a flyer from Tesco offering me a free eye test + £20 off new glasses !!! Arghhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!

    even though we get CTC & WTC we are still not entitled to help!

    have you asked the tax credits office? you should have received a NHS certificate of exemption from certain costs (credit card sized).

    Hi tifo, we checked about the certificate of exemption but we are just over the limit by £50 or so! These limits haven't changed for years which is a little unfair but what can we do? If we didn't get the wtc we would b just under as well!!
