NHS Continuing Healthcare Appeal Preparation

Evidence-led NHS Continuing Healthcare case preparation for CHC eligibility disputes, Decision Support Tool scoring, funding reviews and complaint evidence.

Continuing Healthcare cases are won or lost on the evidence behind the domains, the reasoning recorded by the multidisciplinary team and whether the assessment reflects the person’s needs over time. We help families organise that material into a structured evidence pack.

Bring the decision. We build the case.

Send the trigger document, the papers you already have and any deadline. We will identify the practical preparation work that can be done within our non-reserved role.

Map the evidence to each domain

Organise the records by the relevant care domain, then identify the clinical evidence, frequency, risks, intervention and impact over time.

Compare the DST with the records

Flag wording that understates frequency, omits risk, loses important context or does not explain why a level was chosen.

Build a care chronology

A simple chronology can show deterioration, hospital admissions, changes to care, escalating risks, missed assessments and funding decisions.

Prepare a concise review pack

Create a document index, evidence table, key examples and questions for the review or appeal meeting.

Questions people ask

What documents are useful in a CHC dispute?

Keep the Decision Support Tool, checklist, assessment notes, care plans, daily records, risk assessments, medication information, professional reports, meeting notes and decision letters.

What should the evidence show?

The evidence should show the nature, intensity, complexity and unpredictability of needs, with examples and dates. It should also identify where the written assessment differs from the underlying records.

Is this legal representation?

No. Wolfe & Black provides non-reserved case preparation and evidence organisation. We do not promise a particular eligibility outcome.
