Mr X’s Story

We helped with

CHC assessment

Mr X was admitted to hospital in December 2017 after suffering a stroke. He was transferred to a step-down facility in early February 2018, where he was then assessed by his Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) within a matter of days afterwards, and found not eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding.

Mr X’s daughter appealed the CCG decision and attended the Local Resolution Meeting, but the CCG still concluded that Mr X was not eligible.

Mr X’s daughter subsequently contacted Farley Dwek Solicitors to represent her in the appeal to NHS England (Independent Review Panel).

Farley Dwek prepared a comprehensive Written Submissions Document on behalf of our client to support the request for IRP, arguing amongst other things, that Mr X had been assessed too early in February 2018. The IRP accepted that Mr X had suffered a dramatic change to his life and circumstances, and it could be expected that he was still adjusting at the time of his assessment.

The IRP upheld the appeal and accepted that the CHC assessment may well have been undertaken too early in February 2018, and that at the time, Mr X was eligible for CHC funding.

The CCG subsequently accepted the IRP’s recommendation and agreed to reimburse care fees paid in excess of £25,000.

Without Farley Dwek’s support we wouldn’t have secured the funding. Soon after we presented our case with Farley Dwek we were informed by the NHS that my mother was entitled to the funding after all. It was a huge relief because the size of the care home fees can be a huge worry.

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.

I 100000% recommend this people focus company that have fantastic work ethics and are so very knowledgeable. I’m so grateful for all the support.

I feel like the presence of Farley Dwek in the process was the key factor in our family securing the funding and saving £1,400 per week in care home fees for the BUPA hospital that we had chosen. To say we are pleased with Farley Dwek is an understatement. We’ve been absolutely delighted with everything the team has done and would recommend any family in the same circumstances speak directly to them to give them the best chance of getting the funding.

Mr Barrow

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.
