Stuart’s Story

Clinical Review Service

Stuart (not his real name) took advantage of our Clinical Review Service and instructed us to review his father’s potential eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding (CHC).

The matter was allocated to one of our specialist nurse assessors who then promptly met with the patient and his family at the care home. Having reviewed his care home records and medical records, our specialist nurse considered that there were good prospects of successfully claiming CHC funding to cover the cost of his ongoing care fees and accommodation.

For continuity, the same nurse subsequently attended the NHS’s Multi-Disciplinary Team meeting as the family’s appointed advocate. The MDT agreed to recommend CHC funding to pay for all future care fees.

Based on our review of the available evidence, we felt that Stuart’s father should also have been assessed and awarded CHC funding much earlier. Farley Dwek were then instructed by Stuart to pursue a retrospective claim against the CCG and seek reimbursement of past care home fees paid for the time when his father should have been found eligible for CHC funding.

After submitting our application form, the CCG gave careful consideration to the matter and upheld our claim. As a result of our intervention, the family are now expected to receive over £28,000 reimbursement of back-dated care fees.

Many families without legal representation only tend to look forward to see how they can save huge monthly care fees for their spouse, parent or relative. Sadly, many are totally unaware that in certain circumstances they can also make a retrospective claim for CHC funding as well!

If you want help assessing your relative’s potential current or past eligibility for CHC funding, or else need professional expert advocacy support at an MDT or appeal, get in touch with us directly on 0800 011 4136 or via our website to find out how we can help you.

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.

A sound investment! I had researched a number of firms offering assistance to help secure CHC funding for our Mum. I was very glad I chose Farley Dwek. Both my brother and I are retired solicitors and are able plough our way through regulatory material and legislation, However, neither of us had any experience in this area of law. I really appreciated Farley Dwek’s transparent and sensible advice. I would recommend doing the initial screening exercise with one of their nurses, we had the excellent Diane Jenkins for screening (and eventual support at the MDT).
