There are other ways in which a person may get free NHS prescription charges. These include: • because they, or their partner, get Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income-related Employment and Support Allowance or Pension Credit Guarantee Credit; • NHS Tax Credit exemption certificates, if they or their partner receive tax credits and satisfy the conditions to receive a certificate; • NHS Maternity exemption certificates, if they are pregnant or have had a baby in the last 12 months; • the NHS Low Income Scheme, because they have a low income. If you have to pay, but need lots of prescriptions, you could also save money by purchasing a Prescription Prepayment Certificate (PPC). Full details of the help available can be found in leaflet HC11.
