Advice for SOA

  • Hi

    Just a small thing, I noticed you pay just over £16 for your prescriptions & I am guessing if you needed an extra prescription 1 month you could be paying a lot more for that month or longer & most definitely unexpectedly, which will upturn any budget you set.

    Please can i strongly reccomend you sign up to the pre-payment prescription system on NHSBSA PCC , as it will save you so much a year. BUT don't pay it on a cc, pay monthly then you won't pay interest on it.

    I highly recommend choosing a year as you pay for 10 months of £11.45 for 12 months cover. It is not just for regular prescriptions and nothing else, it is for EVERY & ALL prescriptions that you will receive including dental and I can most definitely tell you from experience you will save lots of money.

    I've done it for 30 years and in that time its only gone up £1.45.

    Good luck for the future
