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Our CHC Team had a tremendous success this week, in the case of a young man whose CHC funding had been unfairly withdrawn.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.

"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. Very knowledgeable in her field, always ready to offer insight and support and quick to respond to queries, we would have been lost without her! If you are looking for some advice and guidance on CHC’s look no further. Recommend without hesitation."

CHC client

"Thanks to Andrew’s guidance, we were able to articulate and feedback our reservations to the CHC and they ended up ruling in our favour. We therefore did not end up having to formally instruct Farley Dwek for representation but our impression was that they were an exemplary firm with judicious invested leadership and noble ethics."

CHC client

"From first contact with the managing partner Andrew Farley and Ruth Pople, Senior Case Manager , Farley Dwek appeared to be a very well organised Law firm. The staff is very professional and takes all the time to explain sometimes complicated situations."

CHC client

"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!"

Jane

"Without Farley Dwek's encouragement and perseverance, I don’t think that I would have proceeded with the claim, nor would it have resulted in such a successful outcome without their professional input at every stage. Their attention to detail, care and support throughout this process has been exemplary."
