Automatic entitlement to help with NHS health costs usually stops when you reach age 19.
You may still be entitled to help at age 19 if your parent or guardian is in receipt of a qualifying benefit or exemption which includes an amount for you.
You must select the box on the prescription that matches the exemption your parent or guardian has.
You may need to show evidence when claiming help with health costs.
This can be your parent or guardian's qualifying benefit award letter or Universal Credit (UC) statement that includes payment for you as a dependant.
If you’re not covered by a benefit or exemption, you can apply for help through the NHS Low Income Scheme by completing an HC1 application.
