SINGLE PENSIONERS

My itch needs scratching.
The lastest itch is the PBS Safety Net for Medical Scripts.

How come the Safety Net eligibility is the same for Single Pensioners as for the Family?

I was shocked to find that now my husband is dead I have to accumulate the same number of Scripts as a Family or a Couple.

Thanks for that information Charlee, that was something I wasn't aware of. Yet another arrow to badger our elected public servants about.

I've also found out that sometimes, even though your doctor writes a script, you are able to buy some of the products at a lesser price than the $5.00 charged for the script price. You really do have to look and watch.
