Hi
A lot has happened in the last couple of weeks and I'm now on Universal Credit. I haven't been able to have an eye test for 2 1/2 years (I wear glasses), or a dental check up for nearly 3 years.
I've checked and it seems that I might be eligible to a free eye test (at Boots for instance) and a free dental check up (at a NHS dentist). I still need to register with a NHS dentist as the practice I was registered with has been bought by private dentists, and they actually closed down for lockdown number 2. I've contacted half a dozen practices today, they're all full!
For the free eye test or dental test, what evidence do they require? I don't have any paper correspondence from DWP or JobcentrePlus, it seems that everything is done online or over the phone.
Thanks in advance.
