[QUOTE="Xxlisaxx, post: 818146, member: 172873"] I got one too, I've been diabetic type 1 for 30 years! They demanded ONE PRESCRIOTION CHARGE of the £8 and £40 fine! I rang them, I have claimed free prescriptions under the exemption rule for 30 years!!! They waived it immediately! Told me doctors do not remind patients to renew ever five year OR apply automatically?!!!!! So I should owe them thousands and thousands really then!!!!!? I was issued mine when I was 16 and I have NEVER had a reminder to renew it and never ever paid, this charge was for one from November 2014! Lol crazy? They were lovely on phone and said not to worry, ask Gap surgery for an exemption application form and doctors will send it off after signing it! Ridiculous!ive also heard a lot of people are getting these dos they don't even know you should review every 5 years!!! [/QUOTE]
