Hello everyone,

How are you doing today? 😊

We all have moments where we wish we could say something but feel we can't. Whether it's a tough conversation, an unshared frustration, or simply something weighing on your mind, sometimes it's easier to share in a supportive community.

This discussion is a safe space for you to get things off your chest. Whether it's about your health, personal struggles, or anything else, feel free to express yourself here. We're here to listen, understand, and support each other. 🤗

To get the conversation started:

What is something you've been wanting to say but haven't felt able to? Is there something you would like to say to someone but can't?

Remember, your feelings are valid, and sharing can be a powerful step towards relief and clarity. Let's support each other with kindness and empathy. 💖

Looking forward to hearing from you all.

Warm regards,

Somya from the Carenity team 🌼

Hi @Wolr139

I just have applied and turned down as I moved to retirement and state pension. You can apply for a HC2 or HC3, all done online which is assessed. All depends what benefits you claim or low income, we as a retire couple were not entitled but my daughter who is carer for my wife is entitled to free dental care. If my wife had no carer we would be entitled to free dental care. ESA should entitle you to free dental care but go through the online process, they phoned us two weeks later with some questions and got an email the next day turning us down. But do try as it is worth the trouble, I am dreading my dentist bill next month!
