Prescriptions

Does anyone know what the cut off is for receiving free prescriptions. Currently myself and husband get CTC & WTC but I am about to start work.
I think we will only lose WTC.

    You are entitled to get prescriptions free of charge if you:
    • are on Income Support, income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or the guarantee credit of Pension Credit. Your partner and children will also be entitled to free prescriptions. If you are getting Working Tax Credit and/or Child Tax Credit, you may be entitled to free prescriptions, depending on your income

    We will still get CTC. It is the "depending on your income" bit that I am refering to. Does anyone know how much you can earn before you don't qualify?
