NHS Continuing Healthcare
On 15 March 2012, the Department of Health announced the introduction of deadlines for individuals to request an assessment of eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding, for cases during the period 1 April 2004 - 31 March 2012.
We are therefore asking for individuals or their representatives to notify their local Continuing Healthcare Team in respect of previously un-assessed periods of time where there is evidence that they should have been assessed for eligibility for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. The time periods and the deadlines are:
| Period | Deadline |
| 1 April 2004 - 30 September 2007 | 30 September 2012 |
| 1 October 2007 - 31 March 2011 | 30 September 2012 |
| 1 April 2011 - 31 March 2012 | 31 March 2013 |
The announcement of these deadlines introduces a process which will enable any individuals who should have been assessed from 1 April 2004 onwards to be identified and considered for eligibility as soon as possible because, as time passes, detailed recorded evidence of an individual’s needs for the period of time in question may no longer be available.
To obtain further information on the process and to discuss this further, please contact your local Continuing Healthcare Team.
