Many people with narcolepsy are prescribed multiple medications, and – unless you are entitled to free prescriptions - the cost can be substantial. It may be cheaper to buy a prescription prepayment certificate (PPC) – effectively a prescription "season ticket".
A PPC covers all of your NHS prescriptions, including NHS dental prescriptions, no matter how many items you need.
One of the most important functions of our Helpline is to provide assistance with claims for benefits. However, in order for them to get the most from the Helpline, we do need clients making claims for benefits to ensure that they are ready to make their application.
For people with narcolepsy, travelling on public transport may present particular difficulties: getting off at the right stop, making a connection, etc etc.
Aimed at tackling the challenges and discrimination faced by the narcolepsy community across the UK, the Narcolepsy Charter will be a written statement of the rights of people with narcolepsy and their carers. It will set out the basic rights that people with narcolepsy and their carers deserve and should expect.
