Your attitude is your biggest barrier here. Rather than complaining and wittering on about being a tax payer, ask the right questions and you will get the help that you need.

Too true. You see it time and time again on here. Folk latch onto a reason to be angry and lose sight of the original goal.

Speak to the Practice Manager, they can decide on a case by case basis whether to register someone who has a lot of ID but not all the docs on the practice registration form.

I did ask them if documents I had on me were sufficient and receptionist said no I need a bill. So please ask first before making YOUR SILLY assumptions

Ask first... that is exactly what I did.

Perhaps you missed where I said...

Did you even ask them if what you had was suitable?

But let's not let facts get in the way, eh?

OP you need THIS link

apparently it's standard practice to ask for proof of address.

Drop the attitude. That won't be helping if its as strong as it comes across here. I know its annoying when you hit these barriers but getting angry and irate at them.

Speak to the council and ask them to write a letter confirming that you are registered as living at that address. See if they will accept that as a alternative 'council tax bill'.

If that doesn't work complain to the PCT - they DO have the power to slap the surgery for being awkward.

What you haven't explained is why you can't take a Council Tax bill, it may not be in your name but it would tie in the address on your other documentation with something that satisfies their requirements.

Perhaps they're already maxed out on their quota for people with bad attitudes.
