No, but I see in another thread you're intending to claim UC, which does entitle you to free prescriptions and dental treatment if you have earnings below a certain threshold https://www.nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/help-with-health-costs/help-with-health-costs-for-people-getting-universal-credit/#criteria

You'll very likely need a face to face assessment before a decision's made. Waiting times for these depend on backlog in your area. Some wait a few weeks, while others wait several months. You could be waiting a while yet.
