If you're eligible, you can apply for a reimbursement 6 months after paying the IHS.
You can apply for one 6-month period at a time starting on or after 31 March 2020.
You can only claim for each IHS period once.
If your IHS number has changed during your claim period, you must use your original number.
Returning applicants
When you enter your National Insurance (NI) number, the online portal will check to see if a previous claim has been made in the last 6 months.
If a previous claim is found, you'll receive a message with the earliest date you can make another claim.
This check is also made when you give the start date for your new claim period.
