Help with NHS Prescriptions Penalty Notice

If they haven't updated the Prescription tick boxes to include UC then it sounds as though whichever box you ticked, could be classed as the wrong box! I'd be the kind of person who would point that out to them ...

I just got this reply:
Being entitled to Universal Credit doesn't automatically entitle you to free NHS prescriptions as you must meet additional qualifying criteria, such as your take home pay being below a certain amount.

Your entitlement is based on your Universal Credit statement for the last complete assessment period prior to collecting your prescription and it is your responsibility to check your entitlement before claiming it for free.

This Penalty Charge Notice (PCN) has been closed and you don't need to pay anything.

If you qualify for free NHS prescriptions via Universal Credit in future, please select box K (Income Based Job Seekers Allowance) on the back of your prescriptions.

So that's me sorted. Kind of surprised they closed the claim without me sending any proof at all. I just said that I did qualify and they closed it!
