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

 

Solicitor meeting

From first contact with the managing partner Andrew Farley and Ruth Pople, Senior Case Manager , Farley Dwek appeared to be a very well organised Law firm. The staff is very professional and takes all the time to explain sometimes complicated situations.

CHC client

Thanks to Andrew’s guidance, we were able to articulate and feedback our reservations to the CHC and they ended up ruling in our favour. We therefore did not end up having to formally instruct Farley Dwek for representation but our impression was that they were an exemplary firm with judicious invested leadership and noble ethics.

CHC client

If a relative of yours is going into a care home or nursing home, I’d 100% recommend you to call Farley Dwek to see if you are eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding.

Peter Shaw

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.

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.
