  • If you have epilepsy and take anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs), you are entitled to receive all your prescriptions (not just those for AEDs) free of charge.

    To claim your free prescriptions you will need to get an exemption certificate by asking your doctor for form FP92A (England), HC11B (Northern Ireland, EC92 (Scotland) or FP92W (Wales).

    If you do not yet have an exemption certificate, you can claim a refund of your prescription charges within three months of paying. You must ask for a receipt on form FP57 (England), PS7 (Northern Ireland), EC57 (Scotland) or WP57 (Wales).at the time you pay for the prescription — you can't get one later. The form will tell you how to claim a refund.

    For further information about prescription charges, contact the Prescription Helpline 0845 850 1166.
