NHS Continuing Healthcare

Care to be Different should be advertised as widely as possible – I feel – for their informal, accurate, helpful and encouraging advice. Their resources are invaluable to anyone in need of proper advice regarding NHS Continuing healthcare funding and the myriad of legalities and obligations. Their reference guide is excellent (as are their many website posts on the various relevant subjects).

I was lost in a sea of abbreviation, medical words and jargon. I came across Care To Be Different and the more I read, the more I understood what was going on. I felt relief and things became much clearer. The battle I had to fight with people I thought where supposed to be on the side of my mum and Care To Be Different has given me the confidence to do that. Knowledge is power has never been so apt.

I honestly cant thank you enough! Reading the website gave us the knowledge that our late mother, who, after following an NHS blunder, suffered a severe stroke and was left with severe brain damage and unable to speak – she was actually refused CHC! This website gave us the confidence to appeal their decision and the knowledge to work through each decision tool, and give solid reasons how she met the criteria. We even questioned how many assessments one of the decision makers had done (which turned out to be just one, a few years ago!) Once they knew we “knew our stuff” , they upheld our appeal, awarded CHC to Mum and the family home that had been owned by our parents for 60 years was saved from being swallowed up in nursing home fees. We would never have done this without you. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I would not have had the strength or confidence to continue my fight on behalf of my late Mum without this web site, the information I have gained here is invaluable. Thank you so much CTBD.
