Can you still claim for footwear if you've got a GP note?

I've been looking for the thread but I can't find it. Has the payment of £30 stopped now?

I've been told by my Lino that RM need a letter from your GP annually. My last letter was dated March 2016 so I need another apparently. My GP will charge me £10 for this letter. Can I claim this back from RM?

Thanks in advance.

Two payments of £30 a year (not much I know) ask your manager to find a copy of the GP note from last year and tell them your condition has not changed. If they want to be pain about it then book you doctors appointment at a time that will really inconvenience them.

Thanks for that. They couldn't even find a copy of last year's note. I had to provide them with a copy. Typical Royal Mail!!!!!

someone posted a few weeks back payment is stopping in July.. so get in quickly £30 better in your pocket. AFAIK 1letter is all you need not 1 a year personally handed mine in 18months ago never been refused payment. check in downloads how it works.

You don,t need a claim form all you need is proof from GP or podiatrist.
