Nursing Home Fees Refund

welshgranny

I have been told that it may be possible to recover Care home fees as there were wide and varied range of different assessment criteria to establish whether or not a patient was eligible to have their Nursing Home fees paid. As my Aunt had severe dementia when she lived in the home I maybe able to claim and wondered if anyone else had started a claim. The deadline I am told is September which does not give anyone much time. I can see lots of companies offering to start a claim but I wondered if it was possible to claim without them.

The OP wishes to claim for NHS Continuing Health Care. I started this process nearly 2 years ago and am still waiting to go to a tribunal. The PCT are now telling me that they are prioritising cases received since April this year!

The only thing you need to do before September is to advise the PCT that you wish to claim. You can do this yourself.

If you google 'NHS Continuing Care' there is lots of info out there. I think there is also a thread on here from someone who is pursuing a case. Plus there are a couple of forums specifically for this. I will try to look later on and post the links if I can find them. Also, you could try contacting the Alzheimers Society. There is a number on their website you can ring and you should be able to speak to someone who has already brought a case and can give you advice.
