Appeal Advice Service

Honest, impartial advice

If you have been assessed and turned down for NHS Continuing Healthcare, our Appeal Advice Service will help you decide whether to challenge the decision.

Whether you have been unsuccessful at MDT or Local Resolution stage, our experienced Case Managers will review the Decision Support Tool and give you their expert view.

If we do recommend appealing the decision, we will offer additional services and support. If we don’t think an appeal is likely to succeed, we will tell you: we are always completely honest with our clients about prospects of success. We only pursue valid claims.

Our approach…

The main steps involved in our Appeal Advice Service:

  • You send us the Decision Support Tool (and Local Resolution Report if applicable), along with any other evidence you want us to consider.
  • One of our experienced Case Managers reviews the information provided and prepares a summary report, offering their view as to the prospects of successfully appealing the decision.
  • We send you the report and arrange a meeting to answer any questions you might have, if desired.

 

Solicitor meeting

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).

CHC client

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!

Jane

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.

David Newton

Through out my dealings with Farley Dwek I found them to be efficient and very helpful. But above all their honesty impressed me the most. Never have come across an organisation that would put ethics before profit. For this alone I would highly recommend them.

You don’t need any more worry about how to come up with the money at a time when you are trying to cope with the emotion and distress of trying to get the best care possible for loved ones. This needs sorting out and I’m glad Farley Dwek is on my side and helping through the process.
