[QUOTE="roo.be, post: 765664, member: 23290"] I may be a little late to the party here and I have only read bits of the thread but I was stung for £46 earlier this year is similar way. What I now understand is it is not your condition that entitles you to the exemption but the having the exemption card. Your condition entitles you to apply/ have the card. There is no avoiding paying the initial invoice you receive but if contact them they place you on the exemption database in anticipation of you applying for your card and you will not have to pay for any subsequent months where you may not have had a card. Of course you must apply immediately at that point. The purpose of this activity is to recover costs from benefit frauds who take advantage of pharmacies sometimes 'lax' approach to requesting to see a card. Unfortunately, genuinely entitled people who have simply 'not known' are also being caught in this exercise. [/QUOTE]
