Incapacity benefit

Does anyone know if you are exempt from dental charges if you are on incapacity benefit pleae
Thanks

yes you are my o/h is on it and we dont have to pay ask the dss what you can get as well im sure thay will help you

Hi,
You can claim free dental treatment if

Aged under 18
Aged 18 and in full time education
Pregnant or had a baby in the 12 months before treatment starts
An nhs in patient and the treatment is carried out by the hospital dentist
An nhs hospital dental sevice out-patient
When the treatment starts or when the charge is made,you are getting or your partner gets income support,income based jobseekers allowance.
Incapacity benefit and disability living allowance do not count as they are not income related.
Sorry
Sal

No I don't think you can because they are not income-related, unless you have filled in a means tested form thingy that's related to income support or such like.

Thanks both of you...looks like the OH will still have to pay
