NHS Medical Exemption Card

Post by arnabkundu » Sat Nov 21, 2015 2:09 pm

Hi

I have Type 2 Diabetes and have been issued a Medical Exemption Card. I am on Tier 1 visa. Is NHS Medical Exemption Card considered as a benefit or can I claim free medicines as I do not want this to affect my ILR application next year.

Thanks
Arnab
