Essential support for anyone entering the Kafkaesque world of Continuing HealthCare applications or appeals.

I eventually secured CHC for [my] relative during their lifetime and recovered unassessed periods of care plus expenses retrospectively… I secured CHC and a Review alone, but it’s essential to be very well prepared and informed. The book and this site were invaluable.

CHC is the NHS’s ‘best kept secret’ and Care To Be Different, through their excellent website and supportive Face Book page provide the tools to help families unlock this. Having a sound knowledge of the ‘system’ certainly helped me to secure full CHC funding for my mother following a second eligible assessment in September 2019. Recently, after a 2 1/2 year battle, her first completely flawed ineligible assessment was overturned at IRP.

Thank you Care To Be Different for this website and all the invaluable information it contains.

Diana

The information that they provide is factual, helpful and easy to understand. It also clearly helps people understand the National Framework and the case law that applies in deciding whether someone is eligible for CHC funding or not. I thoroughly recommend reading through the main page and working through the links one at a time; all helpful.
