Non-urgent advice: Prescription Exemption Changes
Tax Credit payments made by HMRC are ending on 5 April 2025
If you're currently receiving tax credits from HMRC, these will no longer be paid after 5 April 2025. If you have a valid tax credit exemption certificate, automatic entitlement to full help with health costs because of your tax credits will stop when it runs out.
People receiving tax credits are being moved to Universal Credit. When your tax credits have stopped and you're moved to Universal Credit, you must meet the Universal Credit conditions to be entitled to full help with health costs. View https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/.../getti.../hwhc-universal-credit to check if you are entitled to help with your health costs.
Non-urgent advice: COVID Spring Boosters
We currently have appointments available for COVID Spring Boosters at the surgery. Eligible patients should expect to receive an invite over the coming week.
Vaccines are for patients aged 75 and older (or turning 75 by 17th June), and those aged 6 months to 74 years with a weakened immune system because of a health condition or treatment.
