TBH You are lucky to find a GP who is willing to do it these days anyway...
Apparently it said on the form that any costs incurred with be payable by the applicant.
It is, but when you are earning £6000 LESS than what you will be, it kinda gives the picture of how skint we are.
30 quids fuck all in the scheme of things though.
as already said, DRs are paid quite a wadge - should it be lowered to meet the salary expectations of the people they work for- £0.05 for the toddler who thinks their couple of quid a week is loadsa moolah? If you fill in a passport form properly, it takes more than 5 seconds to sign for, sensible people don't just sign any old piece of paper pushed under their noses, whether it looks familiar or not.
Convert it to an hourly out of hours rate and it starts to seem a little more fair. I suspect it is also on the passport photos thing to try and put people off wasting their time with it.
Some people completely over exagerrate their symptons, others play them right down, and the general chat will often shed light on the real situation.
Not when you are skint its not.
