Mrs X’s Success Story

We helped with

Retrospective Review

Farley Dwek Solicitors were instructed on behalf of the late Mrs X to pursue a retrospective claim for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding (CHC) against her local Clinical Commissioning Group for wrongly paid care home fees.

Initially, upon retrospective assessment, the CCG concluded that Mrs X was eligible for CHC Funding for the last 5 months in care before she passed away. However, the CCG rejected the claim for CHC for any prior period of care. Farley Dwek remained dissatisfied with this outcome arguing that the CCG’s decision was flawed.

Farley Dwek then pursued an appeal to an Independent Review Panel held by NHS England.

The IRP found that the CCG’s decision was unsound and Mrs X was eligible for CHC for the full prior period of care under appeal.

In total, the team at Farley Dwek Solicitors have helped Mrs X’s family recover over £45,000 in care fees.

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.

Thanks to Andrew’s guidance, we were able to articulate and feedback our reservations to the CHC and they ended up ruling in our favour. We therefore did not end up having to formally instruct Farley Dwek for representation but our impression was that they were an exemplary firm with judicious invested leadership and noble ethics.

CHC client

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

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Debbie Payton dealt with us and I cannot recommend her highly enough. Huge thank to all at Farley Dwek for dealing with such a delicate matter so promptly and professionally.

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.
