CHC Funding Success Story
We helped with
CHC funding
Our CHC Team had a tremendous success this week, in the case of a young man whose CHC funding had been unfairly withdrawn.
Not only had the CCG failed to identify any reduction in the level of his needs since the most recent DST, their documentation was littered with gross clinical inaccuracies which, we argued, rendered their review and reassessment invalid.
A further assessment was undertaken but, unbelievably, the errors and inaccuracies from the original review, which our client had taken great pains to draw to the CCG’s attention, were simply repeated verbatim!
Almost two years after the decision was made, the CCG finally agreed to organise a Local Review Panel to discuss the case and we provided a robust Written Submission for its consideration. This evidence therein was, apparently, too great for even this CCG to dismiss.
Following a lengthy and often mind bogglingly frustrating battle, during which the CCG breached just about every provision of the National Framework, and the laws by which it is underpinned, the CCG finally saw sense and agreed the decision should be overturned, without putting the family through the stress of Local Resolution.
A fantastic result for our client, who can now look forward to his future rather than worrying about funding, and a fantastic result for our expert team.
