Personal Injury Claim - Should I keep prescription receipts?

I kept a copy of the prescription but threw away the receipt :(

Is this a problem?

I dont want to claim the 7 pounds but I do want to make sure they understand that I am taking medication

    If you go back to the chemist and explain, they may hand write you a duplicate receipt.

    You do need to keep all receipts to back up your claim.

    You will probably also be getting a medical report which will detail any medication you have been prescribed as a result of the incident.

    Great this car accident insurance claim isn't it.

    First you post that you have no MOT and are worried you might not have a claim, the next we know is your claiming for whiplash, a laptop, prescriptions and on top of all that you don't want your car fixed just the cash.

    It's people like you that push up the premiums for the rest of us.

    Now if you had been in a serious accident and it was going to affect you long term or for the rest of your life, to an extent that you couldn't work or something, then I would have said claim away, but judging by the size of the claim for damage to the car,this is some sort of minor shunt.

    Some peoples greed just amazes me.From thinking they were in the wrong to claiming for everything under the sun in a few short days.

    No. It is the clown that crashed into him, causing him all this unpleasantness and distress for him that is pushing up everyone's premiums.

    Not fair to put any blame on the innocent victim.

    This guy is money grabbing BIG time, just take a look at his previous posts where he's pestering another poster to find out what kind of insurance claim he had that managed to pay out £50,000 :eek: ( 2 days BEFORE his accident!!!)
    Then he's also asking what another insurance company are like at paying out claims on travel insurance:eek:
    Definatly something fishy going on here........what goes around comes around:o

    And you have all the necessary info to make that assessment do you?

    You ve seen the damage to the car, read the doctors note, understood the circumstances?

    What next? Sack all the lawyers and get everyone into slave labour?

    Your previous posts say it all,
    What was that all about then?
    How many threads about this and all the different ways you could claim money have you started in the past week?
    Why are you talking about claiming for your physio when the accident was 5 days ago on a minor accident that would be an unlikely outcome.
    :rolleyes:

    Ideally you should keep all receipts, but I doubt anyone will make an issue out of a missing receipt for £7.

    *also ignores bunfight ;) *

    Most insurers won't be bothered about a reciept for £7.

    Your GP records will verify you had a prescription anyway, and your medical expert's report will mention it.

    Better to keep them if you can, but it's not the end of the world.
