Continuing Health Care Cost Return
Do you or a member of your family have to pay full or partial continuing health care? If you do, then contact one of our solicitors today to see if you could be liable for large amounts of compensation.
The NHS currently facilitates a system for those who require 24 hour continuing care or nursing care, any applicants that are likely to be eligible for funding from the Primary Care Trust or Local Health Authority are ordinarily those of a lower or no income with minimal or low collateral.
It is not uncommon however for people to meet the criteria for continuing health care funding unaware, while paying their own care fees in full. If you have been paying your own care fees or somebody you know has been funding their own continuing health care from their own finances, then it is possible that they could have been running up debts of thousands of pounds and in some instances, can often end up losing their own home as a result, or to continue funding the help received.
Financial aid is generally not available to those with savings of or over £23,000, anybody with saving of this amount is deemed to be able to fund the care independently, however this is NOT the case if the person requires nursing or continuing NHS healthcare. It is unfortunately the case that many health authorities have made errors regarding cases of eligibility and have not been applying the correct legal test.
