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.

What a life saver Farley Dwek were to myself and my Family. From the first point of contact to the final consultation, the whole process was clear and easy to understand. 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.

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.

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.

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.

We approached FD for help in appealing a faulty CHC funding decision. Highly impressed with the in-depth & very detailed investigation by their expert nursing practitioner. Eventually we got a very good result which was entirely the result of FD’s work. Definitely recommended.
