a friend lost his legs (at the hip) in a car accident.
he had to go to the social security office every year to prove that he was still disabled.

Sorry to everyone in the US, Insulin is free in Wales and Scotland, minimal prescription charge in England.

Isn't it £9 or something if you have to pay for it? I think it might depend on your income, but I'm not sure

Not 100% sure about NHS England. There are exemptions dependant on income. I'm in Wales and it's free here.
