Hi everyone. Asking for a friend, she is waiting the letter to migrate over to uc from income related esa support group. One of the worrys she has is her prescription which her Dr only allows her to have weekly. At the moment she gets free prescriptionswith been on esa but she doesnt know what happens when she is migrating over to uc, is she still entitled to free prescriptions while migrating. I couldn't find a clear answer online so thought I'd ask here. Thanks.
When your friend migrates over to UC she may still be able to get free prescriptions.
