Qualified for JSB - automatically get a medical card?

Scoobynewbie · 2013-05-16 21:40:27

I've recently been made redundant & today was told I qualify for JSB. My husband is on JSA. Do I automatically get a medical card / GP card or do I apply separately? I was told by someone on the dole that you automatically get a Medical Card. I'd be more than happy with a GP card for my two very small children.

You don't automatically qualify, you still need to apply

This is a very good website.

I don't have the exact answer to your question but the website covers it.

You can also phone your local citizens information office or drop in
