[QUOTE="dannyw, post: 756186, member: 134545"] No, I know exactly what you're saying and in an ideal world, this would work. The flaw is that there is no legal requirement for a chemist to ask to see your certificate, some do, most don't. Similarly, if you signed to say you don't pay for a prescription because you are in receipt of certain benefits, they would not expect to see evidence. I'm not suggesting I agree with this but it's the rules. The onus is on us to ensure we apply for the card, and renew before expiry. It really is that simple. Same with a bus pass, passport, driving license, MoT, disabled badge etc etc. Blaming others may help alleviate frustration but ultimately, the fault lies with the individual. [/QUOTE]
