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.

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.

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.

Mrs P

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.

Emma

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.
