Little known fact about minor ailments and illnesses in chemists uk

just thought i’d share with you guys in the uk you can get free treatments if you receive certain benefits for minor ailments and illnesses here in the uk, i qualify because i get income related esa, just thought you should know this instead of buying your medicine from chemists you can get it free if you qualify, if you want you can ask the chemist for a leaflet on it and if you qualify, DLA or PIP doesn’t count but i think a lot of people will get this out of work benefit so would qualify, thanks and take care.

p.s. this is for non prescription medications so you don’t need to go to your gp to ask for it.

here is a link about it from Boots the chemist

You mean your country actually tries to help people with medicines instead of taking emptying your wallet into their pockets?
What a novelty idea.
