As he didn't have one from day one of diagnoses I think your understanding is at fault.Not only is your response uncaring and unthinking CarbsRok but it is legally inaccurate! Originally Exemption Certificates were issued for Life - it was only in 2002 that the Law was changed and Certificates were required to be renewed every 5 years - only problem was that DOH failed to inform users. I don't know your background but clearly understanding is not part of your make-up. molivers73 was at fault for not having a valid certicate - not for owing prescription charges.
Like a lot of other posters have said read what you sign IE you sign you have an exemption certificate and you haven't then the NHS will take the view that you owe money. Nope it ain't fair the system leaves a lot to be desired in the way they are going about things.
