My daughter has server difficult to control asthma which started when she was 17, over the last 11 months she has been so poorly she has missed lots of college so she is unable to do her second year as she does not have enough learning hours to continue. She has just had her first mepo injection and seems to be doing well but she is also still on 20mg steriods. The problems start when she gets down to about 6mg which is a few weeks away. She did get an apprenticeship but then was dismissed after taking time off sick. She is 18 in 2 weeks and we have decided it might be best to wait a few months until her health is more stable to try working again.
Once she is 18 she has to pay for her prescriptions i think ? Can anyone advise if the annual certificate is best of if she indeed needs to pay. Also, do you know if she can claim any benefits. She does have a bar job but only for a couple of nights a week on minimum wage.
