Lying to get free prescription
I feel bad for this, but the last month or so I've been saying I'm in education when I collect my prescription, even though I'm not. I'm autistic and have anxiety and have been worrying about being arrested for fraud etc. What should I do?

don't lie and then you won't have to worry
It's too late now. What are the punishments if they do find out?

It's a £100 fine plus the charge of each prescription you falsely claimed.

Is that it?
Yes, they wouldn’t arrest you

Just don’t do it again, it’s in the past now.

You have to pay full price even if you're in full-time education...
No you don’t? Until end of sixth form/college you can get free prescriptions.
The age is 19, when you have to start paying. 18 if you’re not in education.

Unlikely to be arrested but you might have to pay a penalty
Have a look at this link to see if you qualify for free prescriptions under the NHS low income scheme and you should be eligible to apply for a HC2 certificate then you show that when you go to get your prescription

What happened? Did you get fined then? Or did you get away with it? @Anonymous #1 how did you get away with it twice?
Nothing happened 🙂 I now pay for them like I should
Oh ok lol, I was worried for you! When I read about the fine i was like woah! I wouldn't want to get charged that much. Glad it worked out.🙂 out of interest , what prescription was it for?
