NHS Continuing Healthcare

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 for the expert advice on your website and in particular your publication “How to get the NHS to pay for care”. CHC is a difficult process to navigate and a well guarded secret but with your resources and many hours of study it can be achieved. Nervous for the 3 month review but taking one day at a time, it’s a marathon not a sprint that’s for sure.

Straightforward advice to help see through the complex maze of CHC. Friendly advisors and initial 1:1 support is free. This support was enough to ensure I knew what to do so we didn’t need to go to the next stage of paying.

A forum where people struggling to claim their or their relatives’ legal entitlement to health care are supported and advised.
