ESA and prescription charges was created by hoover1
PLEASE HELP
used to be on Incapacity benefit changed to ESA support group. was told I no longer need to purchase pre paid prescription card as am entitled to free now.tick H box on prescription by job centre staff.
Received penalty from NHS for MAY this year amount of £103.20
saying not entitled as my benefit says "your income related amount is £109.30 however because you are entitled to contribution-based employment support allowance we will pay you £109.30.
the job centre has told me 3 times yesterday I am entitled... NHS said 3 times i am not. The NHS website says "income related employment and support allowance paid on its own or with contribution based employment and support allowance is covered????? clear as mud.
What is the truth and should I refuse to pay and let them take me to court with the evidence I hold?
