NHS CONTINUING HEALTHCARE

Paying for a care home the NHS should be funding?

NHS Continuing Healthcare covers 100% of care costs — but assessments come back “not eligible” far more often than families expect, and families who appeal without a structured case succeed far less often than those who arrive prepared.

The three things that stop people — and shouldn't

“Is it too late?”

The window to ask for a review runs from your decision letter — and the pack maps your dates from the letter you actually received. It is longer than families expect, and shorter than it feels.

“We're not medical people — can we really argue this?”

The decision was scored against 12 published care domains, and the appeal is won or lost on the same 12. The pack turns what you already know about your relative's daily needs into the domain-by-domain language panels are required to engage with.

“What if the appeal fails?”

The review stages are free, so what a failed appeal costs is the preparation — £19.99 here. Against what a care home costs every week, finding out whether the decision holds up is the cheapest step in the entire system.

A case that addresses all 12 DST care domains against the Coughlan test and the 2022 National Framework is far harder for a panel to dismiss than an unstructured letter. This pack gives your case that structure — for the cost of one hour of care.

What we will not pretend

We cannot make your relative eligible — eligibility turns on the primary health need test, and only the panel decides it.

We cannot replace medical records. The pack tells you which records to request and where each belongs in the argument; it cannot conjure evidence that is not there.

And if the assessment looks right, the domain-by-domain structure will show you that too. Clarity either way is what £19.99 buys.
