Jill’s Story

We helped with

CHC funding

Farley Dwek Solicitors were instructed by ‘Jill’ (not her real name) in July 2018. Her Mother, Mrs X (for anonymity) had been assessed in October 2017 and found not eligible for CHC funding despite having multiple complex and challenging healthcare needs. The negative outcome had been appealed by Jill prior to her Mother’s death in April 2018, and she subsequently sought our support and advocacy representation in connection with the appeal.

We reviewed evidence and prepared a full Appeal Submission in readiness for the NHS Local Resolution appeal meeting. The CCG upheld the appeal and agreed that Mrs X was eligible for full CHC funding from October 2017 to the date of death in April 2018.

We had also noted that Mrs X had not previously been assessed for CHC funding from admission into the Care Home in February 2016 until October 2017. Following the successful appeal, we requested that the CCG now undertake a retrospective review of this unassessed period as well. The CCG’s review concluded that Mrs X was eligible for CHC funding for part of this period, too.

In total, Farley Dwek have successfully helped Jill recover 14 months of CHC funding for her late mother’s care.

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.

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.

We would thoroughly recommend Farley Dwek as an organisation and Debbie Payton in particular. We feel that all that she has achieved on behalf of my father is worth every penny and we believe we could not have got this outcome without her. We cannot thank Debbie enough.

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.

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.
