I wonder if anyone has any advice on this please!
I've received a penalty charge notice from the NHS saying I claimed a free prescription between end of March and beginning of May. As I am not entitled to free prescriptions I am being fined the £9 cost of prescription and £45 penalty charge.
But I didn't! I pay, and have always paid the fee for prescriptions! Apart from one pregnancy many years ago I have never been entitled to free prescriptions so have never tried to claim so!
There seems to be no recourse on this. It's pay the fine or challenge if you actually are entitled-but what proof can I have to challenge! I'm scouring bank account to see any £9 boots pharmacy debits but I sometimes paid cash and I also collect and pay my husbands prescriptions at around the same time or a week later than my own.
It might as well be a £5 fine because it's really not the money I absolutely refuse to accept the blame!
