Benefits & Dental Treatment

[pussyfoot]

If you only work 15 hours a week are you still entitled to free dental treatment? (as a single person)

Thanks

I wasn't eligible when I was on JSA(CB).
I think it needs to be JSA (Income based ) or some other means tested benefit.
Are you living with anyone?

You CAN get free dental treatment if you're in receipt of income-based Jobseeker's Allowance (or income-related Employment and Support Allowance).

You CAN'T get free dental treatment if you're only in receipt of contribution-based JSA or ESA.

No, I live on my own!

NB: If you're not automatically eligible for free dental treatment, but still on a low income, scroll down to 'NHS Low Income Scheme' in my link above.
