Dublin: The Drugs Payment Scheme (DPS) card is available to individuals or families in Ireland who spend more than €80 per month on:

  • Approved prescribed medications

Checking Application Status

  • Online applicants receive a reference number to track their status.
  • Postal applicants with a mobile number will receive the reference via text; otherwise, it is sent by post.
