New style paper GOS forms available to order from 11 January
If you are not able to submit GOS claims online by 1 February 2021 you will need to use the new style paper forms. Any claims for sight tests dated from 1 February 2021 onwards submitted on old forms will be rejected as they cannot be processed by PCSE.

Current paper GOS forms for use up until 31 January 2021 can be ordered up until Sunday 10 January.
How to order new forms
The forms will be available to order via the PCSE portal from Monday 11 January.
The current forms will no longer be available to order from this date.
