Be careful and make a timely claim

Continuing NHS Healthcare is a package of care provided free-of-charge by the NHS for people with complex & primarily health-based needs.  This can be provided in a care home or an individual’s own home.

Potential claimants have until October 31st 2017 to register their intent to make a claim for continuing healthcare costs which were incurred between 1 October 2015 and 31 October 2016.

The NHS will provide advice to claimants and will complete all of the work required to review their case free of charge. This is not a legal process and there is no requirement for people to appoint a solicitor. However, if a solicitor is used, these costs cannot be reimbursed.  All claims will be reviewed within six months of the NHS having all the information that it needs.
