basic services are free at the point of use just like everyone else....if you want to get prescriptions charges off then fill in a HC11 form.

Are you talking dentist? If you are, then yes you have to pay unless you can get the HC form. Takes a while to come through, so do it soon.Signature removed for peace of mind0

Students Union, larger post offices, if you have a read of Jayne-Mam's link you'll find links from that. I don't think you can download it, at least you couldn't last time I hunted.Signature removed for peace of mind0

For people in full time education, NHS dental treatment is free until their 19th birthday.
After that, filling in a means-tested HC1 form may get you a partial or full exemption from NHS charges.
If you have a private dentist, then there is no state refund.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -
ok, am kinda confused. Ive obtained a HC1, do i just fill in the HC11 part?0
