[QUOTE="Time Lord, post: 771521, member: 161060"] I have an exemption certificate. It was my chemist who advised me of this. I had been paying prepayment certificates previously. I was a bit miffed because my GP never informed me. What I understand is that the chemist may ask to see your cert but will still accept your word if you tell them you have one and just tick your script to verify they have not seen it. I was only ever asked for mine once. What I do find though is that often chemists will ask if you are exempt and then tick the box after you have signed it. Therefore not legally valid as you can not be held responsible for them ticking it after you signed it. Anywhere I`m sure that anyone who has ticked a box quite innocently will not be pursued. Lots of people do tick one of the boxes and falsely claim, this practice needs stamping on. [/QUOTE]
