Restitution Calculation Service

We can help ensure you are properly reimbursed after an award of CHC funding

If you have been awarded CHC retrospectively and don’t know how to ensure fair and proper restitution, we can help you!

Families often tell us they have no idea if the ICB’s offer of reimbursement is correct or if they are being short-changed, particularly when it comes to calculating interest. As there is no set formula for calculating restitution and interest, each ICB has its own method.

Farley Dwek have many years’ experience calculating retrospective restitution awards for our clients and negotiating fair and robust settlements with ICBs.  We ensure our clients get paid their just entitlement to restitution and as quickly as possible.

Our approach

This is a unique service, for which we offer 3 different options depending on your budget and how much help you need:

  • Option 1: We will check that the ICB’s methodology is reasonable and that their calculation is correct, based on the documentation provided by the ICB.
  • Option 2: We will scrutinise the ICB’s figures against your own documentation to ensure there are no missed payments. We will check their methodology and the interest rates applied. We will advise you of any errors identified.
  • Option 3: We will calculate the principal sum before interest and present your claim to the ICB with supporting evidence. Upon receipt, we will check the ICB’s offer and interest calculation and advise you accordingly. We will negotiate, as necessary, with the ICB and chase until payment is received.
Solicitor meeting

"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."

Geoffrey Matthews

"Farley Dwek persevered in a very old and difficult case on my behalf and were successful through tenacity and a refusal to give up, along with an in depth knowledge of the subject matter."

CHC client

"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

"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

"The service I have received from Andrew Farley for a Continuing Healthcare Funding claim for my mother has been excellent. The initial contact with Andrew gave me a clear picture of the process, outlining timescales and explaining the stages that I would have to go through to achieve a successful outcome."
