Around 1 in 4 people will end up paying for care, even though the law clearly states they should be receiving it free of charge.
Many of your clients may not realise there is a structured format in place with both the NHS and social services that facilitates challenges to decisions on where care is provided and where payment will be sourced. Most are often wary of asking for help with this from a solicitor due to high cost involved. As a result, families by default frequently pay thousands of pounds per month in seemingly unnecessary care costs.
Who Pays 4 Care have created a unique self-help manual titled “Protecting Assets from Wrongly being used for Care Costs” — designed to help will writers, para-planners and financial advisers understand more about client care challenges.
The 145 page book has been written by legal experts with over 30 years’ experience and covers over 90 key points of a challenge, including:
- How to identify when a complaint exists.
- How to structure a well-balanced complaint.
- Help your client through to a successful conclusion.
Each area covered is compliant with current legislation and prior to creation, Who Pays 4 Care carried out 2 years’ research to ensure the information provided is up to date with the latest Care Act 2014. This will help to ensure you’re providing accurate and supported advice to your clients and allow them to receive the best care possible whilst avoiding superfluous costs.
