NHS Continuing Healthcare

Had it not been for this website and the excellent articles and the experience of other readers I would not have been as well informed and battle ready for the war I have had with my CHC/CCG for the last 3 years.

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

It can seem rather daunting to start with as there is so much information to take in. However if you read a few small sections, rather than trying to take in the whole lot, it may help. I also feel that their excellent ‘book’ is well worth buying and working through, one step at a time. Good luck and hope this helps.

Very helpful information on a range of issues and easy to navigate through the complexities of continuing funding.

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.
