Clinics Getting help to pay for a prescription.

[alfies_owner]

Can my wife get any help for paying for a prescription of medical cannabis in the UK?

She has chronic stroke pain in her leg and groin.

She is claiming PIP and ESA along with me.

Beyond benefits like PIP/ESA there isn't really any support available to cover costs. There's a couple of schemes to help reduce the cost of either clinic fees, or medication itself slightly - though there's also cheaper options available outside of those schemes.



(just noticed the Curaleaf price there is wrong, will update momentarily)

A very small amount of patients do get their treatment covered via private insurance, but you couldn't now go and take out a policy with pre-existing conditions as they wouldn't be covered.

Unfortunately while medical cannabis is limited to private clinics only, it's unlikely we'll ever see costs fully covered.

Thats whats pip is for they will say. In England you could apply to the trust for funding but unsure of what form. You would need to look into the first person to get his script paid for by the NHS i forget the details as well.
