donnamarie Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 With all this talk about people going to the dentist i was wondering do you still pay for dentist work while claiming ESA? :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donna79 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hi Donna, I dont think that ESA gives you free nhs dental treatment but if you ask for a HC5 form from the dentist then you should? be able to claim the money back x x x love donna (hehe) my middle name is marie so cant even disquise it that way hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lin-lin Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 It depends whether you are on income based ESA or contribution based ESA. The benefit agency will tell you which benefit you’re on if you don’t know. Income based ESA will automatically passport you to free dental treatment, but contribution based ESA will not. It is an absurd distinction, because they pay the same amount. However, if you are on contribution based ESA, it is possible to complete a form and apply to be reimbursed. The dental practice will have the relevant forms with them. Lynne xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
