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.

I cannot recommend FARLEY DWEK enough should you find yourself in this unfortunate situation. They ring you when they say they will, they write to you with updates and keep you informed all the way. I'd like to especially thank Ruth Pople and Jonathan Dwek who I regularly spoke to during the process.

I am over the moon with the way in which Farley Dwek Solicitors have handled my late father’s claim. We were kept informed throughout the whole process and had frequent contact with our solicitor, Jonathan Dwek. His experience and empathy instilled great confidence and I am delighted with the outcome.

A sound investment! I had researched a number of firms offering assistance to help secure CHC funding for our Mum. I was very glad I chose Farley Dwek. Both my brother and I are retired solicitors and are able plough our way through regulatory material and legislation, However, neither of us had any experience in this area of law. I really appreciated Farley Dwek’s transparent and sensible advice. I would recommend doing the initial screening exercise with one of their nurses, we had the excellent Diane Jenkins for screening (and eventual support at the MDT).

If a relative of yours is going into a care home or nursing home, I’d 100% recommend you to call Farley Dwek to see if you are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding.

Peter Shaw

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.
