If you are getting other Benefits for people who have a learning difficulty or other disability, you can get
free health checks and
free medicine.

That means you don’t have to pay for:
• going to the
dentist,

• having an
eye test,

•
prescriptions for medicine (if you live in Wales these are already free).

When you go to the dentist or optician they will have a
form you sign.
At the
chemist, you just
tick a box on the back of the prescription.
