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.

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.

The service I have received from Andrew Farley for a Continuing Healthcare Funding claim for my mother has been excellent. The initial contact with Andrew gave me a clear picture of the process, outlining timescales and explaining the stages that I would have to go through to achieve a successful outcome.

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.

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!

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.
