[QUOTE="andybates, post: 721912, member: 150779"] I have just received a penalty notice today for 96.50 covering the charge for two items and penalty of 5 times the two items cost. So being fined based on the amount of medication I need. My certificate apparently expired in August, and I have changed address. So I'm expected to remember five years on some conditions from then. And I notify the NHS of my new address. So no reminder. Had two conversations with the 'Business Services Authority'. Currently challenging them on a right to appeal this, they say I don't have a right of appeal. Yet the NHS Act 2006 states (sect 193, subsection 8) (8)But a person is not liable by virtue of a penalty notice— (b)to a penalty charge, or a further sum by way of penalty, if he shows that he did not act wrongfully, or with any lack of care, in respect of the charge or payment in question So the act in effect states that I can show that I did not act wrongfully or with any lack of care, yet they deny I have a right to appeal.
