The change should clear up confusion in the pharmacy
The Department for Work and Pensions has made a small update to the way that free prescriptions work across the country, with a change that reflects how benefits have transformed in recent years.
This will remain the same, but the way that benefits recipients register that they are eligible for free medication due to low income will change. Currently, there is a check box on the reverse of the prescription asking which benefit you are receiving.On some forms, this check box only asks if the patient is receiving income-related Jobseekers Allowance, which can be confusing for those who are on the new-style Universal Credit, who are meant to just tick the box anyway.
