MDT Meeting

The family approached Farley Dwek Solicitors for advice following a Multi-Disciplinary Team meeting (MDT), which recommended their relative did not meet the criteria for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding (CHC). We obtained care and medical records, which were reviewed by one of our specialist Nurse Assessors, who recommended the family appeal.

We lodged an appeal against the decision of ineligibility with the NHS Integrated Care Board (ICB), providing full Written Submissions in support, along with a copy of the evidence we had obtained.

While the ICB was considering the appeal, the patient’s condition deteriorated further, and it was agreed another assessment for CHC Funding was needed. Sadly, due to a significant delay on the part of the ICB, the patient passed away without any further consideration for CHC Funding.

Seven months after receiving our appeal, the ICB overturned its decision of ineligibility, without even convening a Local Resolution Meeting.

What a shame the ICB did not make the correct decision to award CHC at the initial point of assessment, saving the family much grief and expense, at a time when they should have been focused on their fragile relative.

I cannot recommend FARLEY DWEK enough should you find yourself in this unfortunate situation. They ring you when they say they will, they write to you with updates and keep you informed all the way. I'd like to especially thank Ruth Pople and Jonathan Dwek who I regularly spoke to during the process.

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 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 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.

Without Farley Dwek's encouragement and perseverance, I don’t think that I would have proceeded with the claim, nor would it have resulted in such a successful outcome without their professional input at every stage. Their attention to detail, care and support throughout this process has been exemplary.
