They send you a renewal letter about a month before it expires. I can't remember whether you have to ring them or not, but I think I usually do. I'm having a seriously blonde day today! DD

    Hi

    They do send you a letter about a month before to say that they will renew it automatically with direct debit they already have.

    If they don't hear from you, they will do it all for you. You only have to inform them if you wish to cancel it.

    Hope that helps.

    we've both just had ours renewed on Direct debit.

    when they started it being available in 10 installments the system didn't automatically carry on, and many of us complained and said that for those with long-term conditions it was silly for us to have to fill out everything again every year.

    this year the letter stated that it would be renewed on the Direct Debit instruction that they held, unless we advised them that our circumstances had changed and we did not wish to continue, and gave the starting date of the new payments.

    if your letter hasn't come within a month of the expiry date I'd ring them to check just in case the system has 'lost' you.

    I couldn't manage without mine - just been to dermatology and they have added 5 more items to my monthly list :shock:
