Check if you need to apply for help
You do not need to apply for help from the NHS Low Income Scheme if you already get the help you need.
You already get all the help we can offer if you or your partner get certain benefits. You could already get help if you're included in your parent or guardian's claim for those same benefits.
The help you can get depends on the country you live in.
