Appeal Representation

Expert case management

If you are embarking on the Local Resolution process after an MDT or preparing for an Independent Review Panel following an unsuccessful local appeal for Continuing Healthcare, we can help you present your case effectively.

If you need help with a CHC Appeal, the first stage is our Appeal Advice Service. If we do recommend appeal, instructing us to represent you can maximise your chances of success.

Successful CHC appeals depend on presenting the right evidence, in the right way. Our specialist team can do the hard work for you and ensure the NHS has the information it needs to make the right decision.

Our experienced Case Managers can provide expert representation at both Local Resolution Meetings and Independent Review Panels, giving you invaluable support.

Our approach…

The main steps involved in our Appeal Representation Service:

Obtaining evidence for the appeal period in the form of care and medical records
Preparing a Detailed Medical Assessment using the records obtained. Sending this report to one of our Independent Nurse Assessors for analysis and clinical input
Providing you with in-depth advice about the merits of the claim
Subject to merits, lodging appeal with the NHS, preparing Written Submissions and dealing with all correspondence
Preparing for and attending the Local Resolution Meeting and/or Independent Review Panel; providing expert representation
Reviewing the outcome and offering our advice

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.

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.

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.

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.

Brian Marshall

My family and I cannot rate Farley Dwek Solicitors high enough for all their work in helping us with a successful appeal to grant my father CHC in his care home. As soon as I contacted them I felt listened to and supported and our solicitor Debbie was nothing short of incredible. Very knowledgeable in her field, always ready to offer insight and support and quick to respond to queries, we would have been lost without her! If you are looking for some advice and guidance on CHC’s look no further. Recommend without hesitation.
