answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/12/2018 answer text <p>Completion of the FP10 prescription form, including any declaration of exemption from paying prescription charges, is the responsibility of the patient. Universal Credit claimants who meet the criteria for free National Health Service prescriptions, should tick box K for income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance on the patient declaration until the prescription form is updated to include a tick box for Universal Credit. Advice on this matter is available on the websites for the NHS Business Services Authority and the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee and accessible to dispensing doctors and pharmacists.</p> answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine question first answered 05/12/2018 16:45:22 answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine previous answer version 90060 answering member constituency Winchester answering member printed Steve Brine answering member 4067 label Biography information for Steve Brine
