[QUOTE="enamor, post: 757419, member: 42324"] I had the same fine, when I contacted them they told me that NHS Business Services had taken over the administration for prescription services and told me about the exemption card. When I became diabetic (4 years ago) my doctor advised me that I receive free prescriptions and to tick the back of the form, nothing about applying for a card. They told me that doctors can advise but it was my responsiblility to apply for it, my arguament that if I didn't know I had to apply how could I. When I've filled out so many forms relating to being a diabetic why would I deliberatly not apply for the one that allows me to collect my life saving medicine. I paid the fine, spoke to my practice and my doctor wrote to me apologising and admitted he should have made it clearer. I hope he does for future patients. I called my dad who has been T1 for 50 years and he has never had one either, assumed it was automatic. Sent him straight to surgery to fill out the form. Good luck to those fighting it. [/QUOTE]
