Hi All, I am 60 in a months time.
Do I have to apply for my free prescription service ?
Or is it that I simply have to prove my age when I pick up my prescription?
Thanks....

It is. If you always use the same pharmacy then they will update their records so that the prescription labels indicate this and you will not even be asked to fill in the back.
All my labels now say 'Age Exempt'0 -

It is and on the odd occasion I've been asked if I pay* I just tell them 'no, I'm really old'
* the further past 60 I get the less this happens :cool:0 -

It was a lovely surprise to me to get this, and also (I think?) free eye tests. Even better was the fact that there's a concession at 60 for theatres and cinemas!Signature removed for peace of mind0
