Work out readiness
We start by separating three questions: does CHC look plausible, do you have the right records, and are you at Checklist, MDT, or appeal stage?
Plain-English CHC preparation
CareAdvocate helps families move from uncertainty to assessor-ready evidence: check whether CHC is plausible, gather the right records, and turn those records into the language NHS assessors use.
The best conversion path is also the honest one: free help when you are early, paid analysis when records are ready, and meeting-specific packs when dates are booked.
Use the screener to understand whether your loved one has signs of a primary health need before you buy anything.
The Case Strength Report reviews what you already have, shows the strongest domains, and tells you what is missing.
The Checklist Evidence Pack turns records into descriptor ratings, narratives, and meeting-ready supporting material.
The MDT Preparation Pack helps you bring a structured family submission into the room before scoring is fixed.
Some routes only need a free screener. If you later upload records for a paid report, the Evidence Engine uses UK GDPR safeguards, encryption, access controls, and clear retention limits.
What happens after you start
CHC turns on evidence. Our job is to make that evidence visible, structured, and tied to the framework the NHS actually uses.
Record readiness matters
If you do not have records yet, request them first. A paid report is most useful when it can review the notes assessors will rely on.
We start by separating three questions: does CHC look plausible, do you have the right records, and are you at Checklist, MDT, or appeal stage?
If records are missing, the right next step is a Subject Access Request. If records are ready, you can move into evidence review.
The Evidence Engine tags records against CHC domains and descriptors, then a CareAdvocate team member reviews the output before delivery.
Your materials are designed for meetings and written submissions: domain-led summaries, evidence gaps, and calm wording for pushback.
Cost context
CareAdvocate gives families a lower-risk ladder: free screening, then £47 case analysis, then meeting-specific evidence packs such as Checklist preparation at £597.
