Mrs X’s Success Story
We helped with
Retrospective Review
Farley Dwek Solicitors were instructed on behalf of the late Mrs X to pursue a retrospective claim for NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding (CHC) against her local Clinical Commissioning Group for wrongly paid care home fees.
Initially, upon retrospective assessment, the CCG concluded that Mrs X was eligible for CHC Funding for the last 5 months in care before she passed away. However, the CCG rejected the claim for CHC for any prior period of care. Farley Dwek remained dissatisfied with this outcome arguing that the CCG’s decision was flawed.
Farley Dwek then pursued an appeal to an Independent Review Panel held by NHS England.
The IRP found that the CCG’s decision was unsound and Mrs X was eligible for CHC for the full prior period of care under appeal.
In total, the team at Farley Dwek Solicitors have helped Mrs X’s family recover over £45,000 in care fees.
