You may be exempt from paying a prescription charge if you are:

• on specific benefits or through the NHS Low Income Scheme
• under 16 or over 60
• aged between 16-18 and in full time education
• living with certain medical conditions (see the list of qualifying conditions here)
• pregnant or have recently given birth in the last 12 months and have a valid maternity exemption certificate. You can obtain this from your midwife.

If you will have to pay for four or more prescription items in three months or more than 14 items in 12 months, you may find it cheaper to buy a PPC.
