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

"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

"I found this firm to be thorough, professional, knowledgeable, and available when needed. The outcome was exactly what we had been hoping for. I have no doubt that this firm played a significant role in achieving that."

CHC client

"I am over the moon with the way in which Farley Dwek Solicitors have handled my late father’s claim. We were kept informed throughout the whole process and had frequent contact with our solicitor, Jonathan Dwek. His experience and empathy instilled great confidence and I am delighted with the outcome."

Craig Phillips

"Carla acted as our nurse advocate at a recent DST meeting. We had a two hour preliminary phone discussion a couple of days beforehand and Carla's professionalism and attention to detail was immediately apparent. Her assistance on the day was invaluable as her clear undertanding and cross referencing of the various records meant that she was able pick up on any discrepancies/omissions and ensure that proper consideration was given and that nothing was overlooked or misinterpreted by the assessor. We couldn't have gone though this process without such amazing support. Thank you."

Martin Wallbank

"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."
