The Appeals Advice Service is offered on a fixed price basis and will be conducted by one of our associate specialist nurses.

The nurse will obtain and review care home and GP records for 3 months and 12 months respectively, prior to the date of the MDT. Our nurse will also speak to you as part of the Service.

Once all the evidence has been gathered, our nurse will prepare a written report, known as a Detailed Medical Assessment (DMA). We shall then advise you as to the merits of an appeal based on the contents of the nurse’s DMA report.

What Our Clients Say About Us

“I have no hesitation in recommending Farley Dwek. In January 2019 this firm considered that I had good grounds for claiming that my late wife met the eligibility criteria for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding. The CCG had met the costs of only the final 7 weeks of my wife’s care. With the advice of Farley Dwek we pressed for more of the 18-month period of costs to be considered. The CCG considered the period 1 November 2017 to 16 August 2018 and initially rejected the claim. Farley Dwek appealed, were refused, but continued tenaciously to press despite the CCG’s patchy pattern of responses and much unacknowledged correspondence over the three years that this case has dragged on. Then, shortly before a scheduled Local Resolution Meeting the CCG reversed its decision and awarded some £33,000 with interest. Throughout our dealings the FD team has been easy to work with. Their responses to me were always prompt and cordial. Where I.T. was involved they were patient with my ineptitude. Bereavement is not a good period for decision-making, but FD’s professional support and experience were especially valuable to me then in relieving me of trying as an amateur to build a case for restitution of care fees. Farley Dwek are a 5-star firm. “

“Many thanks again for your company’s outstanding service”

“The service I received was very professional, I felt totally supported throughout my CHC funding appeal (which we won!). The knowledge and support given during the appeal process was second to none and I would highly recommend anyone needing guidance to appoint Farley Dwek solicitors.”
– Claire L.

“I would like to personally thank all the team at Farley Dwek and a special thank you to Debbie Payton and Jonathan on behalf of my brother and I for negotiating the reimbursement of care home fees for our late mother who spent the last 4 years of her life in a care home battling with dementia. The Company agreed to proceed with our case on a “no win no fee” arrangement where we lost the first round, but FD were confident that it was worth pushing ahead on appeal which was delayed for almost another year because of Covid. Sadly we lost our mother in October 2020 but she would have been delighted that all the hard work paid off enabling us to claw back a large proportion of fees that otherwise would have been lost to the care system. The amount of time, paperwork and commitment taken up to battle with the CCG is relentless and something we could not have undertaken ourselves. Farley Dwek kept us fully updated at all times and I cannot recommend this Company enough. Thank you so much.”
– Kerry H.

Case Study

Barry Pritchard is an ex-police officer from Salisbury. Without getting lawyers involved he says his father probably wouldn’t have received the NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding he was entitled to all along…

My father became ill with dementia and was gradually getting worse. At first, we arranged for some help from social services in his own home but it soon became clear that his needs were greater than the daily 15 minute visits allocated to him. One day my sister went round to his house only to find him injured on the floor. He had slipped and hurt himself quite badly.
