    Any ideas on this situation please.
    Not working and receiving Job seekers benefit.
    Prescription drugs are costing € 144 per month using drug payment card.
    As the person is unemployed and not paying tax is there any way of getting some of this money back at the end of the year.
    He is not entitled to a medical card.

    Thanks for any advice.

    I'd check the medical card situation again, if I were you. If the person's on JSA/JSB they ARE entitled to a GP Visit Card at the very least, if not a full medical card. Check here

    If they are not working and not paying tax, then AFAIK they are entitled to claim back the cost of the drugs. Check here.
