Have you already started applying for NHS Continuing Healthcare for your relative?
If your relative has already had an assessment for NHS Continuing Healthcare using the Decision Support Tool (DST), but has been refused funding, we help you challenge this decision and take you through the next steps.
This NHS Continuing Healthcare Appeal service includes:
- Guidance on the local NHS appeals process
- Drafting a powerful letter requesting a further DST reassessment
- Dissecting the existing Decision Support Tool (DST) assessment notes
- Pulling together the key reasons for your challenge to the decision
- Help challenging specific NHS arguments and increasing your relative’s ‘score’ where possible
- Advice about key points of law that add significant weight to your arguments
- Guidance on the best way to prepare for the actual reassessment
- Drafting a written document to submit in advance to the assessors, to present a strong case for funding and to support your appeal
- Advice on what will happen at the assessment, plus tips on how you can make your input more powerful and more easily challenge what the assessors say
We’ll help you every step of the way. With our guidance you’ll feel supported – and you’ll save yourself a huge amount of time and tedious research into the legal framework around Continuing Healthcare, Department of Health guidelines, what works in practice, what doesn’t, etc.
Using our services could save your relative losing their family home to pay for care.
“I’m delighted to say that we have now been awarded NHS Continuing Care funding. For me, talking through the circumstances and processes with Care To Be Different was critical. I needed to hear first hand the message about having to fight hard at most stages of the process, and this helped me gain the confidence to do so.”

How to book:
1. First step: Complete our enquiry form. (There’s no obligation to take things further.) Include details of your current care situation, and be sure to include what stage you’re at regarding NHS Continuing Healthcare. Make sure you include your phone number and email address so we can contact you.
2. We’ll then contact you to let you know whether our Appeal service can help – and we’ll let you know what investment you’ll need to make.
3. Instead of fighting your case for you, we act as your navigator through the care system – providing you with the clear guidance and practical advice you need to do it yourself, step by step – at every stage. We also draft the necessary appeal letters and correspondence for you, and we do all this by phone and email.
Remember, there are no firm guarantees with NHS Continuing Care – but you certainly have a much greater chance of winning funding by using this bespoke service and by having someone to guide you every step of the way.
NOTE: We don’t give legal, financial or medical advice. Instead, we provide proven practical guidance based on our own and many other families’ first-hand experience of the care system. We understand how it works in practice, we know how to argue a case, and we can guide you all the way.
“We couldn’t have got this far without your patience, expert advice and knowledge gained through your own hard-fought experiences. My family and I are extremely grateful.”
