entitlements when working

im 19 years old on normal wage ( £4.98p/h) part time worker.
i recently filled out a HC1 form and was rejected any help what to so ever, my point is i have just paid over £200 for my teeth as i was having problems it wasnt the case i just wanted it doing but i NEEDED it and the treatment i had is only guaranteed for 1 year, so after the year is up i will have tp pay for the whole thing again if any thing goes wrong, my treatment was bridges so it isnt going to get any cheaper. i am not entitiled to any form of benefit as i am not over 25 or havent got a kid. i was wondering what help there is out there for me? as i struggle to pay for all medical costs! :question:

    Welcome to adulthood!

    If you are not entitled to a HC1 there is no other help in respect of health costs. How many hours do you work?

    Your income is far higher than the relevant amounts for assistance. If you need help with budgeting you should post on the Debt Free board.
