Not as far as I'm aware. You'd have to be means tested if you don't automatically qualify. I have MS and work full time. I'm on the LTI scheme which covers my MS medication but I pay for everything else. The medication I'm on is an immunosuppressant so I've been sick a few times this year. It's been a costly year with doctor's visits and prescriptions.
