Not the correct forum for this question, not quite sure where would suit, maybe the State Benefits forum? Not sure if there is more suited so not going to move the thread

Have you proof that your card was renewed and not just issued yet or received by you.

Also did you check your card and or application status on line and if approved get a screenshot or print out.

I wouldn't like to hazzard a guess about getting a refund.

My husband was granted one lately because he has a chronic illness and his medication is very expensive, the hse told him his card was issued but it still took about a month to arrive. However as he needed the medication they txted him his card number and he was able to use this until the card arrived. He wasn't able to get any refund on medication before the card number was issued though

If it was me I would ring the HSE and explain it. There is no reason why you should not get the prescription costs refunded.
There is a form to be used for spending over €19.50 in a month
