    Thank you everybody for your replies, I was also wondering I've been selling my packs of unused Euro Form incontinence pads which the local nhs supply me, but because I don't need them anymore I have been selling them on ebay for number of years now, would they look into that as well?

    This makes me uneasy... in fact I am sorry but I think it is wrong.

    You should either tell your GP that you no longer need them and get the prescription cancelled, or tell them you don't need as many and only 'order' them when required.

    I thought this was a real problem, now I think it is all rubbish.

    1) I can understand why you asked the first question

    2) DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU WOULD OWN UP TO SELLING NHS SUPPLIES.

    Don't you know this is completely unacceptable and wrong. The NHS has no money and you are selling the supplies that your doctor gives you. Other people get very little on the way of supplies and you have taken to fraudulently claiming them. WRONG WRONG WRONG.

    This is why I don't believe this is a real problem.

    Selling NHS supplies, whether nappies or Methadone, is always looked on unfavourablly.

    Whenever people post saying that they have effectively been forced to jump through hoops to prove that they should receive (or continue to receive) ESA or DLA, I feel genuinely sorry for them. Then you come along, and in one thread make it seem like a really good idea. I hope that they look very closely at you.

    I'm calling TROLL on this one. Surely nobody would be stupid enough to question the morality of repeatedly claiming something on prescription and then selling it for personal gain?

    This person is transparently a troll. I think it's best to let the thread die a death.

    Me too - and it's not the first time he has been around. He always posts about incontinence issues and severe mental health issues, and I'm pretty certain he has more than one name on the go at the moment ;)

    its really sad.
    people in genuine need are looked at with suspicion because of threads by trolls.
    people that are suffering are made to jump through hoops and justify themselves and put all their indignities on public display because some people thiuink it FUNNY.
    well it isnt
