The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has made a small update to the way that free prescriptions work across the country, with a change that reflects how benefits have transformed in recent years.

Currently, anyone who claims Universal Credit and has work-related earnings under £435 in their last assessment period, or £935 if they receive payments for children or disability, is entitled to receive free prescriptions, dental care, and vision tests.

This will remain the same, but the way that benefits recipients register that they are eligible for free medication due to low income will change.

Currently, there is a check box on the reverse of the prescription asking which benefit you are receiving. READ MORE: DWP pilot to see some Universal Credit claimants test 'new and simpler' benefits system On some forms, this check box only asks if the patient is receiving income-related Jobseekers Allowance, which can be confusing for those who are on the new-style Universal Credit, who are meant to just tick the box anyway.

Usher syndrome: Everything you need to know from symptoms, types and diagnosis

Usher syndrome is primarily a rare genetic condition that leads to partial or total hearing loss and vision loss that worsens over time.The hearing loss comes from abnormalities in the inner ear, while the vision problems are due to a disease called retinitis pigmentosa, affecting the layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye.The light-sensing area of the retina gradually breaks down in this condition, with night vision usually being the first to deteriorate, followed by blind spots appearing at the sides of the eyes. Around 4 to 17 people in every 100,000 people are affected by the disease with three different types of Usher syndrome.

T-ARA singer Areum has addressed her recent suicide attempt and subsequent hospitalisation on Instagram.On March 27, South Korean media reported that Areum had been taken to a hospital after attempting to take her own life.
