Contribution Based ESA was created by Anne
Dear Forum folk,

A miniscule Pension has recently matured and as a result I am now on Contribution Based ESA. Can anyone tell me, does this mean I can no longer have vouchers towards glasses?

I will put in for help via the NHS, and have sent their application away but I just wondered if anyone knew off the top of their head whether any help or vouchers might still be possible.

In the Opticians they said I could have them but I don’t want to owe anything or get anything I’m not ‘entitled to’ . Their form didn’t have a box for Contribution based ESA either.

Thanks, Anne

Free prescriptions, dental care and help with glasses requires you to be receiving Income related ESA, so if you pension has stopped this then entitlement to the other benefits has also ceased.
