Yes. Many PCTs in the recent past were using incorrect criteria in their assessments, our team are trained to be able to identify inadequacies in the PCT’s assessment process and our legal team will pursue your claim with vigour.

Initially one of our advisers will have an informal talk with you regarding your experience. Once we have made an initial assessment of your case we would need your permission to collect medical records and sometime financial records, allowing us to look at the case in more detail. We would also offer you a “no win no fee agreement”, which ensures you would not pay for the work we carry out unless you receive a refund of the care home costs.

Assessment of your case will take no longer than 7 days. The length of time it takes a claim for the repayment of unfairly paid fees depends on the complexity of each individual case but we aim to reach a conclusion within 6 months but it can take longer in some cases.

We strongly advise that you continue payment until your case has been dealt with by your Primary Care Trust. Failure to do so may result in a termination of services.
