The UK is one of the few Nations in the world that offers free healthcare to its residents. According to the figures released by the government, the National Health Service (NHS) provides care for over 1 million patients every 36 hours.
Besides access to free health coverage, people who are ill or have a disability are entitled to some financial support and other help. For example, a Disability Living Allowance and VAT relief.
