[QUOTE="JamesICT, post: 765717, member: 56505"] Like the OP, I received a fine a couple of months ago. Mine was for £132. I paid it but what surprised me, was the fact that my card/certificate was over 12 months out of date. It was because of this fact and that I had received many prescriptions in that time, that I assumed that just because the card had expired and diabetes is a life-time illness, that the expiry date on the card had no relevance. Common sense is not part of the equation it seems. I was quite annoyed at the time and certainly felt no better after calling the NHS and enquiring about it, but hey, I will make sure I remember next time it is due. [/QUOTE]
