Mr A’s Success Story

Retrospective Review

Farley Dwek Solicitors acted for the family of the late Mr ‘A’ (to protect his identity) in a retrospective claim for wrongly charged care fees. After early appeals to the local Clinical Commissioning Group were rejected, Farley Dwek then appealed the matter to an Independent Review Panel (IRP) at NHS England. The outcome was successful and IRP found that the CCG’s decision to reject Mr A’s claim for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding was “unsound” (ie fundamentally wrong!). The CCG have since agreed the IRP’s outcome decision to award Mr A. reimbursement for some 4.5 months of care fees worth around £15,000.

"I found this firm to be thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and available when needed. The outcome was exactly what we had been hoping for. I have no doubt that this firm played a significant role in achieving that."

CHC client

"If it wasn’t for Farley Dwek we would not have had the money paid back and as a family we’ll be eternally grateful for their knowledge, experience and professionalism in guiding us through the extremely complex world of care home fees and the NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding."

"Carla acted as our nurse advocate at a recent DST meeting. We had a two hour preliminary phone discussion a couple of days beforehand and Carla's professionalism and attention to detail was immediately apparent. Her assistance on the day was invaluable as her clear undertanding and cross referencing of the various records meant that she was able pick up on any discrepancies/omissions and ensure that proper consideration was given and that nothing was overlooked or misinterpreted by the assessor. We couldn't have gone though this process without such amazing support. Thank you."

Martin Wallbank

"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."

"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!"
