Message: <blockquote data-quote="robswife" data-source="post: 750478" data-attributes="member: 157334">My husband has received a letter - a penalty charge notice for £124.15. He was diagnosed with type 1 in 1998 age 18, he doesn't remember ever being told about the card and doesn't remember ever having one.He has spoken to the BSA this evening and they have said they can only check back 2 years and he hasn't had one in that time.He went to the DR surgery and the receptionist and the practice nurse were very surprised at the letter. He has now applied for a card but we really don't want to pay this fine! especially when the prescription was for test strips insulin and needles. I find it really hard to believe that they are unable to see that the prescription was for insulin - something only used for diabetes - and being diabetic means free prescriptions - and still send out a £100 fine and also charge him for the medication?? GRRRR.</blockquote>
