Hi All,

My other half has ulcer active colitis for the last few years but 2 weeks ago ended up in hospital with a bad flare up and ended up in hospital for week and a half.
He has been put on aload of different tablets and steriods that the total cost came to over € 1k, thankgod i got the DPS Card the day before in the post but he will be in and out of hospital and doctors for the forseable future with tests and that.

Would he be entitled to the long term illness benefit card as his illness is long term do you think?

Thanks very much in advance

Ulcerative colitis not covered by this scheme. If he is near the income limits for medical card it would be worth getting a letter from GP or consultant re condition to support an application.
