[QUOTE="JDavey59, post: 765699, member: 154473"] Like aries71, my GP gave me a stamped and signed form for me to complete and send which I did. The exemption card came through the post shortly after. That was in 2010 when I started taking Metformin, prior to this I was diet controlled Type 2, and didn't qualify for exemption (even though I was on various drugs for post Heart Bypass, which unfortunately doesn't count). I have recently received a reminder letter from the NHS, asking me to get my GP to send in a new for FP92A form which he did for me when I asked him. Reading earlier entries in this thread, I sympathise with people who, have never been told about the exemption certificate process and find the attitude that 'ignorance is no defence' not only unhelpful but quite rude. How can anybody be expected to guess what they have to do, if they haven't been informed about the system. As for the NHS Business department fining people for not having a certificate but 'claiming' they have. A degree of common sense would be well employed here. If someone has claimed without actually having a certificate, but they are Diabetic and requiring medication, why not inform them of the rules so that they can get one. Or is this just a quick way to get some money into the NHS coffers. [/QUOTE]
