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 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."

"First Class Service. Kept us informed throughout, highly professional and I would not hesitate to use Farley Dwek in the future. Great service thank you."

CHC client

"We would thoroughly recommend Farley Dwek as an organisation and Debbie Payton in particular. We feel that all that she has achieved on behalf of my father is worth every penny and we believe we could not have got this outcome without her. We cannot thank Debbie enough."

"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."

Edward Battersby

"We approached Farley Dwek 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."
