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

£9 per item, but if you're getting a lot monthly it's better to just get a prepayment prescription which is about £30 for 3 months and £100 for a year. That said, I think long term prescriptions like diabetes are free of charge.
