[QUOTE="windy2k14, post: 765782, member: 147363"] Thanks guys - this information is really useful. I have only been diagnosed diabetic type 2 December last year, and knew as diabetic not pay for prescriptions but I am registered disabled and get DLA, so I dont pay for prescriptions anyway, also in receipt of working tax credits - but this is due to end as I am being made redundant on 23rd February. I will look into this too. I can see where people are coming from - my pharmacist never asks to see my card - partly because I am not always able to lip-read them and they cant use BSL, and also Boots keep the details on their system. I do, however, make sure that every time I get a new card they see it and they always take the number down. Like one of the comments earlier, it does seem odd that they need the number on the prescription for proof - but why cant the redesign the form to incorporate a box for them to use? That is weird. Hopefully any fines issued can be overcome by reasonable process and letter from doctor but with NHS being financially tight at the moment its possible that may not happen. Wishing you success in your efforts though. [/QUOTE]
