Morning Mark! You might find this helpful:Morning all,
I have been type 1 for 46 years.
In all this time I have never paid for a prescription from the NHS regarding prescribed medicine.
I have now received a ' Penalty Charge Notice ' ( PCN) from NHS business services authority for claiming free NHS prescriptions as they have no record of me having a ' Medical Exemption Certificate '...?
To the best of my knowledge I have never had a physical certificate in all my adult life, I have just simply ticked the box on the reverse of the prescription, as my understanding is that all Type 1s get free prescriptions ?
I have attempted to challenge the notice but the reply seems automated.
Any help/ understanding would be appreciated.
Thanks
I’ve never had one..Have to say if Ive ever been given one I have absolutely no idea where it is , I don’t ever remember getting one .
lol, my GP always looks sheepish with this formality. “The insulin… I gotta ask.” A quickYou are exempt but you still need a certificate nowadays.
Reminds me of being told 'you can't have a repeat prescription because you haven't had a medication review'
'But my GP and consultant have both reviewed my medication and noted it on my records'
'You still need a Medication Review'...
