Hi All,
This is reference to my dad who has dementia and his in an EMI nursing home. He has multiple health problems along with his vascular dementia.
We had a CHC assessment done on 17th February using the DST. Unsurprisingly we did not get it even though dad scored 4 highs and 3 moderates and 4 lows across all the domains.
I have just received a copy of the DST. All his needs were played down not only by the NHS assessor but by his social worker and the homes lead RGN.
We argued our case at the meeting but were talked over a lot and the assessor refused to put anything into the last 12th domain and failed to give it a score.
We want to appeal this decision. Has anyone any experience of going to appeal?
Thanks in advance
