Prescription exemption

[Lisa69free]

I have posted a form off to cover my prescriptions. Will it only cover my diabetes medication and required things like testing strips or will it cover everything I need now I've got diabetes? Like my asthma medication and future illness like anti biotics etc...

It covers all prescriptions whether related to diabetes or not. You need to renew it every 5 years.

If I remember rightly there are a few very specific things it doesn't cover - but it does tell you exactly what that is (might be some specific bandages or something like that, I cant remember), but yeah it covers the vast majority of stuff on normal prescriptions

This should explain what it covers and for whom

Thank you so much, I didn't really think about what else it covers until I sent it off. Just thought about it after I started my new job
