Medical exceptions to use for what?

Sam_Alumni

There is information here about medical exemption certificates.

It says:

Who can apply (medical conditions)

You can apply for a medical exemption certificate if you have one of the following medical conditions:

a permanent fistula (for example, caecostomy, colostomy, laryngostomy or ileostomy) which needs continuous surgical dressing or an appliance
a form of hypoadrenalism (for example, Addison’s Disease) for which specific substitution therapy is essential
diabetes insipidus and other forms of hypopituitarism
diabetes mellitus, except where treatment is by diet alone
hypoparathyroidism
myasthenia gravis
myxoedema (that is, hypothyroidism which needs thyroid hormone replacement)
epilepsy which needs continuous anticonvulsive therapy
a continuing physical disability which means you cannot go out without the help of another person
cancer and are undergoing treatment for either:
- cancer
- the effects of cancer
- the effects of cancer treatment

These are the only conditions that entitle you to a medical exemption certificate. If you’re not sure about the name of your condition, speak to your doctor.

Hi @littleruthie123

There has been no change to the list of conditions listed above.

If you have exemption certificate now, then it is valid.

Check with a pharmacist or GP, if you are still unsure.

Hi@april123
They are used to get free prescription, because you have one of the above conditions.

Hope this helps.
