I have no idea what 'documentation' goes to the Primary trust panel, but I do know that my mother's case went 3 times 'to panel' and was rejected each time. (Dealing as I was with ailing elderly in-laws as well the assessment always seemed to coincide with an emergency and as there is a time limit on appeal, each time I didn't get myself organised in time.Hi, wonder if someone can please tell me, what actually gets sent to the CCG for the final decision on CHC. It's just the hospital have sent me one filled out at the meeting, which i attended, although some levels have been changed and also my name has been signed by someone else, in the assessors box.
I'm just trying to find out, if i have the one completed at the meeting, then what do they send to the CCG as I thought it would be that.
Sorry if this has already been asked, New to all this and slowly gong through this very helpful thread.
The hospital said my father didn't score enough to get CHC but would get FNC. He will be going to a Nursing Home for 24hr care when discharged from hospital and I am building a case for appeal.
Thank you for any help received.
Even last August,when my mother was bedbound, doubly incontinent, completely dependent on others to 'anticipate her needs. because she'd lost the ability to talk or even comprehend, unable to reposition herself, losing weight because she was struggling to swallow and had even her drinks thickened, regular episodes of unconsciousness / tias/ seizures in the past 3 months, apart from her ongoing heart disease and episodes of breathlessness and I applied for a Fast Track Assessment I was told my 'mother wasn't a suitable candidate' because it wasn't certain she was nearing the end or in her last 6 months of life.
It's all about lack of finances in the NHS. Most of us gain NFC but very rarely do people get awarded CHC., though there are one or two on here who have been awarded it.
So do try. Get a case together for a appeal- you will need masses of 'evidence' and much patience, but be prepared to have to settle for FNC
