Exemption Certificate

I currently have a pre-paid prescription card that I pay £104 a year. Do you all have the same or do you have the Exemption Certificates?

Hope your all ok. :-)

I have an exemption card due to ET, I'm sure you can get one too.

Morning

Assuming you take meds for your condition then you are entitled to free prescriptions.

There is a form you pick up from the GP's fill it in, tick cancer. Then get your GP or Consultant to sign it, you then get a card which last for 5 years and covers any other prescriptions you might need.

You should be able to get a refund on your annual one i think

Hi Chelle, you need to ask for a FP92A and as long as you are receiving medication for your PV you are entitled to have an exemption certificate, and as Paul said, you should be able to get a refund. Maz
