Free Dental work

[BazzaS]

citizenB, I have looked at the link you have put on here but none of it answers my questions, Thanks for getting back to me pin62

 

 

Following the links suggested:

 

"Note

You will not be exempt from paying because you receive: Incapacity Benefit, contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance, contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Disability Living Allowance, Council Tax Benefit, Housing Benefit or Pension Credit savings credit, when paid on their own."

 

So you'd have to pay the band 3 charge (£219 )

 

Following the dental treatments link on that page:

 

"A crown is a type of cap that completely covers a real tooth. Crowns on the NHS can be made of:

alloys (mix of metals) containing not less than a third of fine gold, platinum or palladium"

BazzaS, I should have said that my wife and I receive other benefits that entitle us to free Dental treatment and that I'm on Disability benefits also. pin62.

 

Do you fall under:

"You do not have to pay for NHS dental treatment if, when the treatment starts, you are:

aged under 18

under 19 and receiving full-time education

pregnant or have had a baby in the previous 12 months

staying in an NHS hospital and your treatment is carried out by the hospital dentist

an NHS hospital dental service outpatient (however, you may have to pay for your dentures or bridges).

 

You do not have to pay if, during the course of treatment, you or your partner, receive:

Income Support

Income-related Employment and Support Allowance

Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance

Pension Credit guarantee credit

Universal Credit

or

you are named on a valid NHS tax credit exemption certificate or you are entitled to an NHS tax credit exemption certificate

 

you are named on a valid HC2 certificate"

 

Or do you fall under:

" Incapacity Benefit, contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance, contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Disability Living Allowance, Council Tax Benefit, Housing Benefit or Pension Credit savings credit" ?

BazzaS, Maybe I'm wrong sorry if I am but why do I feel that you are not as friendly as the others on this site.

 

How is it not friendly to post the information you need to answer your query.

 

Sure, I could have spent more time saying how much I hoped it helped you, and saying "Hi!", but that is time I can spend posting facts to help others.

 

The answer (as stated above) was available on the other links that had been posted.

I pasted them across in case (for some reason) you hadn't been able to see them.

 

If the answer isn't available from what the other respondent and I posted : perhaps you'll need to be more specific about the benefits you receive.

 

It is a self-help website : and you have been given the resources to help yourself. Given we are strangers, I find that pretty helpful (even bordering on friendly!).

 

Feel free to ignore my posts (and remain less able to help yourself) if you wish.

Feel free to report any of my posts if you feel they breach CAG posting guidelines.

 

I'm also happy to refund any fees you've paid me if I haven't met your required standard of friendliness ; oh, wait - until you actually do pay me for my time you don't get to set a standard of how friendly my replies need to be (provided they meet CAG posting guidelines)

 

Further: whingeing about the help you've been given and not following up on the links the other poster gave you to answer your query might be viewed as you being the one who is "unfriendly "?

What better way to inspire people to be less friendly or helpful towards you than your reply .......
