[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 1965252, member: 429870"] Here is the relevant Gov.UK Guidance on this matter.: [URL]https://www.gov.uk/guidance/reliefs-from-vat-for-disabled-and-older-people-notice-7017#customer[/URL] In particular: [SIZE=4][B]"3.2 Supplies to disabled people[/B][/SIZE] You can only zero rate supplies to disabled people when the person is ‘chronically sick or disabled’" I did discuss this with my GP and she considered that I am indeed chronically sick. I think that by this she means that I am never going to get better. (I don't think the statement, "I reversed my diabetes" would say anything to her, and anyway it is obviously never going to apply to me, as my numbers are getting worse, not better.) Both GP and pharmacist are happy that I meet the requirement. Needless to say I am happy too. It is hard enough to have to buy all my own testing supplies, even though I am well over the age for free prescriptions. BTW my GP did prescribe the highest possible dose of Glucophage for me in the hopes of lowering my bgs, not for any other reason. [/QUOTE]
