Appeal Representation

Expert case management

If you are embarking on the Local Resolution process after an MDT or preparing for an Independent Review Panel following an unsuccessful local appeal for Continuing Healthcare, we can help you present your case effectively.

If you need help with a CHC Appeal, the first stage is our Appeal Advice Service. If we do recommend appeal, instructing us to represent you can maximise your chances of success.

Successful CHC appeals depend on presenting the right evidence, in the right way. Our specialist team can do the hard work for you and ensure the NHS has the information it needs to make the right decision.

Our experienced Case Managers can provide expert representation at both Local Resolution Meetings and Independent Review Panels, giving you invaluable support.

Our approach…

The main steps involved in our Appeal Representation Service:

Obtaining evidence for the appeal period in the form of care and medical records
Preparing a Detailed Medical Assessment using the records obtained. Sending this report to one of our Independent Nurse Assessors for analysis and clinical input
Providing you with in-depth advice about the merits of the claim
Subject to merits, lodging appeal with the NHS, preparing Written Submissions and dealing with all correspondence
Preparing for and attending the Local Resolution Meeting and/or Independent Review Panel; providing expert representation
Reviewing the outcome and offering our advice

"Andrew had a high degree of expertise in this field and was able to offer practical advice on how best to prepare an evidenced based case. He was also able to identify areas where the framework had been incorrectly applied. With this expert knowledge and guidance, we were successful in our appeal and the original recommendation of the DST was overturned. Our mother was awarded full CHC funding, backdated with payments refunded. The best £300 we ever spent!"

"From the moment I picked up the phone to Farley Dwek the stress levels we suffered dropped significantly as we had everything explained to us."

Gilmour Shelley

"We felt more confident going into the review process with Farley Dwek on our side. After they attended the assessment meeting with us we secured the funding and we continue to save on the astronomical care home fees that we might otherwise have had to pay."

Edward Battersby

"If a relative of yours is going into a care home or nursing home, I’d 100% recommend you to call Farley Dwek to see if you are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding."

Peter Shaw

"Through out my dealings with Farley Dwek I found them to be efficient and very helpful. But above all their honesty impressed me the most. Never have come across an organisation that would put ethics before profit. For this alone I would highly recommend them."
