In order to qualify under the treatment benefit scheme, a person must have 39 reckonable PRSI contributions paid at class A, E, H or P, in the relevant tax year/s. The person concerned paid PRSI contributions at class D in the relevant tax years and as a result, he does not qualify for a free eye examination under the scheme.
