Apologies if I am picking you up wrongly. Free prescriptions? How does that work Tone? I was under the impression that those on a Spouse visa weren't entitled to free prescriptions. ( I have to exercise some caution here as the IOM is a little different but I am from the UK and spent all my life there until february last year ). I recall my ex wife, who never worked and is British, could never claim for free prescriptions in Manchester, as I was earning a reasonable income.
