NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding Client Case Studies

We have a proven history of assisting our clients to navigate their NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding cases.

I wasn’t new to NHS Continuing Healthcare Funding, having been through it with my father who has since passed away. As soon as my mother needed to go into care following a fall and increasing confusion due to dementia, I knew my rights and asked for an NHS Continuing Healthcare assessment. My mother was turned down and I appealed against the decision, which took over 24 months to be resolved. Halfway through that process, the ICB assessed my mum again, turning her down for the funding, and advised I had another right of appeal.

I needed some professional advice about what to do next and so instructed them to review all of my paperwork. I’m so glad I did! I never would have thought to move forward in the way they advised. Their advice was strategic and their experienced opinion on the merits of each appeal helped me focus my mind on what mattered. I know who to go to in future the next time I need help.

I hadn’t appreciated that the NHS had a duty to retrospectively assess my dad’s eligibility for Continuing Healthcare Funding for a very specific period in the past. I hold a Lasting Power of Attorney in relation to my dad’s finances, so it was important to me to make sure I wasn’t overlooking an opportunity to secure full funding for his care. Their advice was clear and his fee reasonable, and I’m glad I reached out to them.
