The NHS currently provides a system whereby if you require 24 hour continuing care or nursing care, you will likely be eligible for funding from the Primary Care Trust or Local Health Authority.

However, there are many people who meet the criteria for continuing healthcare, but who have had to fund their care out of their own pocket, running up debts of thousands of pounds and in some cases, losing their own homes to help fund their care.

If you have savings over the threshold of £23,000, you are deemed to be able to fund the care entirely by yourself, but this is NOT the case if you require nursing or continuing NHS healthcare. Several local health authorities have got this wrong in many cases, whereby Local Health Boards in Wales and Primary Care Trusts in England are not applying the correct legal test.

Do you have a relative or a friend who falls under this category?

If the answer is yes then we can make a claim on your behalf. Click here to apply for a free no obligation consultation with our in-house barrister. If we believe you have a strong case we will help you every step of the way in getting compensation as well as the care that you are entitled to.
