CHC Funding Retrospective Claim Success Story

CHC funding retrospective claim

This week our Farley Dwek team saw another excellent result in the case of a retrospective claim for CHC funding, which took almost 6 years to resolve.

Having reviewed the patient’s care and medical records, we advised our client that her mother should not have been charged for care.  We lodged a request for retrospective review with the responsible CCG all the way back in 2015.

Despite frustrating delays and prevarication throughout, the CCG finally considered our client’s case in early-2020.  Faced with overwhelming evidence, the CCG agreed eligibility for CHC funding for the full period at the first stage of the assessment process.

A fantastic outcome for our client, which underlines the importance of perseverance, particularly where retrospective claims are concerned.

"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!"

"Honest, straight-talking, knowledgeable solicitors. I contacted Farley Dwek via their online ‘contact us’ form regarding my father’s eligibility for NHS continuing care. I knew they were experts in the field and I had already paid for and downloaded their excellent guide on the subject. Despite the fact that it became quickly obvious that there was no case for them in this instance, Ruth still gave me close to an hour of her time and was compassionate, extremely knowledgeable and also willing to give me an honest, off-the-cuff appraisal of our situation and chances of receiving funding."

CHC client

"My family and I cannot rate Farley Dwek Solicitors high enough for all their work in helping us with a successful appeal to grant my father CHC in his care home. As soon as I contacted them I felt listened to and supported and our solicitor Debbie was nothing short of incredible."

"Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Debbie Payton dealt with us and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Huge thank to all at Farley Dwek for dealing with such a delicate matter so promptly and professionally."

CHC client

"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."
