[QUOTE="Fndwheelie, post: 2147593, member: 447317"] To qualify for free prescriptions diabetics have to be on medication (tablets or injections) and you have to get an medical exemption certificate, this will be filled out by the gp, and sent off where they will issue you with a card. As others have said this is valid for 5 years. Even if you come off all diabetes medication it is still valid. Unless you qualify for free prescriptions for other reasons, if you didn’t have the medical exemption certificate you should have been paying the charge for prescriptions. If you had an exemption certificate that’s in date you need to challenge the fine, if it’s out of date then you will have to pay the fine. If you never had an exemption certificate then pay the fine, stay quiet, and hope they don’t look back at the records and fine you for every prescription you got without paying. [/QUOTE]
