DC earns a low apprenticeship wage £7.55ph

Dc has applied for help with NHS charges and has received a reply that they are not entitled to any help at all.

They will have to pay full dental, dr and eye care.

AIBU to think this is wrong?

That sounds like a private cost. My son wasn't eligible for braces on NHS and was told if he wanted to have them privately it would cost around that.

Yes, England, Apparently it’s changed, so we applied for a HC1 form and been refused due to annual income.
