NHS Low Income Scheme
We wanted to ensure that you’re aware of the following support for local people on a low income via the NHS Low Income scheme, with help to pay for:
- NHS prescription charges
- NHS dental treatment charges
- the cost of sight tests, glasses and contact lenses
- the cost of travelling to receive NHS treatment
- NHS wigs and fabric supports (check with your hospital for their arrangements for supplying NHS wigs)

Non-urgent advice: Please Note
This is means based, but the team noted that things like an increase in mortgage costs will be taken into account, even if someone is in work.
