The older person’s website, Independent Age, has put together a great guide to paying for health costs. See below for details and link to the key information on their website:
Help available with health costs
The cost of health problems can be a worry, but it’s good to know there’s help available. For example, if you, or your partner, are on a low income, you may qualify for the NHS Low Income Scheme. This means that you could get either full or partial help with health costs like:
• prescriptions
• dental costs
• help with the cost of travel to and from hospital
• and more.
To find out more about the NHS Low Income Scheme, including how to check if you qualify, visit Independent Age’s webpage on the subject – Help with health costs | Independent Age.
