A large portion of the 200,000 people receiving long term care in England and Wales could be eligible to have their fees paid by the NHS.
More importantly these people could be eligible to reclaim fees they have paid in the past!
Who Is Eligible?
Anyone, whose immediate need is to receive nursing care which has to be paid for. It does not matter if the care is given in a care home, the claimant’s own home or anywhere else for that matter – a claim may still be possible.
However, since October 2007 the rules for assessment changed and one system was implemented for the whole of England.
Wales follows similar rules to England, with Local Health Boards being required to follow Welsh Assembly Guidance from 2004.
You are able to claim back fees retrospectively for care even if the relative is no longer at the nursing home. How far back you can claim depends on where you live.
- In England you can claim back fees from April 2004 onwards.
- In Wales you can claim back fees from April 1996 onwards, but from 4th December 2009, you can only claim back fees from April 2003 onwards.
How To Make A Claim
If you or a relative have been or still are paying nursing home / care home fees then you could be eligible to claim a large portion of those fees back. All you have to do is fill in your details
online or contact a member of our team to assist you. We will gladly answer any of your questions and should be able to let you know whether you qualify to claim back what may well be a substantial amount of money.
In England and Wales alone over 200,000 people are receiving long term care and many of those are funding that care themselves, paying on average around £20,000 a year. However, those whose main need is to receive nursing care are in fact eligible to have those costs paid for by the NHS. Not only that, they are also eligible to back their claim for previously paid nursing care fees. Ultimately, this could result in reclaiming many thousands of pounds.
