Jill’s Story

We helped with

CHC funding

Farley Dwek Solicitors were instructed by ‘Jill’ (not her real name) in July 2018. Her Mother, Mrs X (for anonymity) had been assessed in October 2017 and found not eligible for CHC funding despite having multiple complex and challenging healthcare needs. The negative outcome had been appealed by Jill prior to her Mother’s death in April 2018, and she subsequently sought our support and advocacy representation in connection with the appeal.

We reviewed evidence and prepared a full Appeal Submission in readiness for the NHS Local Resolution appeal meeting. The CCG upheld the appeal and agreed that Mrs X was eligible for full CHC funding from October 2017 to the date of death in April 2018.

We had also noted that Mrs X had not previously been assessed for CHC funding from admission into the Care Home in February 2016 until October 2017. Following the successful appeal, we requested that the CCG now undertake a retrospective review of this unassessed period as well. The CCG’s review concluded that Mrs X was eligible for CHC funding for part of this period, too.

In total, Farley Dwek have successfully helped Jill recover 14 months of CHC funding for her late mother’s care.

My sister and I have received absolutely first class professional support, guidance and advice throughout an extended period of time, seeking CHC on behalf of our mother. Every member of the team, with whom we had various communications with, were professional, courteous, and clear. The process is a challenging one and without their guidance, support and expert knowledge we would not have achieved the successful outcome that we did. We cannot recommend them enough.

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.

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.

The service I have received from Andrew Farley for a Continuing Healthcare Funding claim for my mother has been excellent. The initial contact with Andrew gave me a clear picture of the process, outlining timescales and explaining the stages that I would have to go through to achieve a successful outcome.

Mrs P

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.
