What is a HC1 Claim Form ?

The HC1 form can be used to claim help with NHS Prescriptions; NHS Dental Treatment; NHS wigs and fabric supports; sight tests, glasses and contact lenses; and travel to hospital for NHS treatment. The help is given on the basis of low income and most students on standard student income will qualify for help.
