rs172: You can work but note that you will be allocated an emergency tax code. This can mean paying a high amount of tax you shouldn't be paying and such can't be claimed back when you receive your NI 1 Like |

Hello my people, please, I just got offer for master in 2 UK universities, one in England and the other in Scotland. My issue is that I have just been diagonised to have High blood pressure and currently being placed on drug. Though is like border line hypertension and have started doing all possible to ensure I manage the situation and if possible be off the drug before the resumption time in January, 2021 but I have been warned that I will still have to be taking the drug even if I'm able to put the BP under control. I understand NHS payment is for health management but I'm confused if the payment will cover prescription or not since I will still have to be taking this drug even in the UK. Also, I read somewhere that I don't need to pay for prescription in Scotland while it is mandatory in England. I don't know how far this is true or not. Please, I need your advise as regard this. Thank you. |

sjj3: In England it would be a flat fee of £9.15 per prescription that cover the cost of drugs and everything ... some people can request / beg the doctor to do 3 months at once so u pay 9.15 every 3 month instead of monthly if they issue you your drugs per month Scotland I think it free they dont pay for prescription 1 Like |

LagosismyHome: OMG!! You guys pay for your prescription in England?? Wawu! Didn’t know. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by oludanobi: 11:41pm On Sep 23, 2020 |
Yes, prescription medicine is free in Scotland, you may want to travel with meds to last you for at least a month after you arrive so you don't add that to your settling down worrying , just get a prescription or letter from you doctor in Nigeria to back it up. Best of luck ! sjj3: 3 Likes |

Hi everyone, I have been following this thread silently for about a year, I must say you are doing a great job here as I have learnt so much from so many people. I got two band 5 job offers, one in August, COS released and it's for a job in Carlisle, North Cumbria (England). The other offer is in Bedford, just got the offer yesterday and the package is similar. I have a family of 4 and very soon after myresumption there, hubby (a chattered accountant here in Naija) will also come over to search for job. Now the question is; which will you go for if you were in my shoes and what are your reason. Kindly help me with adequate information that will help me make an informed choice. Thank you. 1 Like 1 Share |

For me, I will advise you to go for the one that has sent u CoS already. Remember CoS expires after 3 months. The second, u can't ascertain when dy will give u CoS, dey fit tell u story dat touch. No try amm move out with the first job. Remember, u can't have two CoS from different employer at d same time. B4 d second job will give u CoS, the first employer will need to withdraw/cancel their live CoS. Cumbria is in north of England. North of England is cheap base on cost of living. If u move into UK and leta u do not like the area u can relocate. Get another job after a year or two. Concerning ur hubby, ur hubby can get a job in any county that he likes. He can work full time. He might decide to be visiting u every weekend. The choice is yours... But go with the one u have deir CoS already. tushqueen: 4 Likes |

oludanobi: It looks like almost everything is free in Scotland even student university fees but who pays for it? England .. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by sherilycious: 4:52am On Sep 24, 2020 |
Please between Aberdeen and Teeside Middlesbrough which is better for a family to move to in terms of easily getting jobs, affordable accommodation, not too expensive cost of living for a young family and also very safe. |
Re: Living In The Uk/life As A UK Immigrant by LagosismyHome(f): 6:27am On Sep 24, 2020 |
sherilycious: Dont know of now but when my brother Schooled in Aberdeen it was an expensive city even rent almost reach London self. But this was before the oil crash so dont know if now Teesside cost of living would definitely be much cheaper . In terms of other things I dont know. I only know about accommodation cost 1 Like |

Dear all, kindly advise me on Tier 2 visa and Tier 4 visa. I'm planning to reroute my career in the health sector. Actually, I studied Medical Lab science with over 7 years post-qualification experience (1year internship, 1year NYSC, and 5 years diagnostics experience in the hospital). I intend doing another Health and care course because of my passion for it, but I don't mind working as a biomedical scientist for the meantime upon my arrival in the UK before going for another health course. Kindly advise me please. |

If you are like me that does a bit of locum work on the side, and your tax bill to HMRC is due in January 2021, it seems today's statement by Rishi Sunak has pushed the payment to 2022. I would suggest you should contact your accountants to verify, my accountant is still waiting for it to be uploaded officially on gov.uk. The tax deferall also applies to those who are fulltime self employed.
