For arguable post-decision cases
Local Resolution Preparation Pack
A structured written preparation pack for families challenging a negative CHC decision at ICB Local Resolution, used after a Grounds of Appeal Assessment confirms this is the right route.
Appeal fit
The right response depends on why the decision failed.
A refusal does not automatically mean a full appeal pack is the right purchase. Some cases need more evidence first. Some need Local Resolution. Some are already at IRP. Some should be paused.
Evidence refresh
When the refusal may be premature because key records, daily notes, or clinical evidence are missing.
Local Resolution
When there is an arguable challenge to the ICB decision and the first appeal stage is still open.
IRP preparation
When Local Resolution has upheld the refusal and the case is ready for NHS England review.
Complaint or no-action advice
When the problem is process, evidence access, or a weak case rather than a strong appeal route.
Best for
- Families with a negative eligibility decision and a Local Resolution route still open.
- Cases where the strongest grounds are domain under-scoring, ignored evidence, or well-managed-needs arguments.
- Families who need a written challenge structure and evidence bundle guidance.
Not for
- Negative Checklist decisions, which usually need a different route from Local Resolution.
- Families already past Local Resolution and preparing for an IRP.
- Families who need a solicitor to advise on litigation or judicial review.
- Families who want someone to attend meetings or represent them at a panel.
- Cases where no records or decision paperwork are available yet.
What you receive
Written clarity before the next high-stakes step.
The product is deliberately practical: it tells you what is arguable, what is missing, and what route is proportionate.
Structured Local Resolution submission arguments.
Domain-by-domain dispute framing tied to the DST and decision letter.
Evidence bundle guidance and meeting preparation prompts.
Clear boundaries on what can and cannot be argued at this stage.
How it works
A controlled process, not a generic appeal template.
Grounds assessment confirms the route
We do not sell this as the first step. The assessment should show Local Resolution is the right route before preparation starts.
We turn grounds into a written challenge
The preparation pack organises arguments around the domains, evidence, and process points most likely to matter.
You use the pack for your ICB review
You receive written preparation and guidance to submit or use at the Local Resolution stage.
What to have ready
- The negative CHC decision letter and completed DST, Checklist, or review outcome.
- Any Local Resolution or IRP correspondence already received.
- Care records, daily notes, medication charts, assessments, and family observations that were not properly considered.
- A short timeline of what happened and any deadlines you have been given.
Start safely
Do not pay for full appeal preparation until the grounds are clear.
The staged route is designed for anxious, time-pressured families who need a clear answer before spending more money.
This stage is not sold as a public first step. Start with the Grounds of Appeal Assessment so the route is checked first.
How your appeal papers and medical records are protected
Appeal work can involve decision letters, care records, clinical notes, and family statements. We keep the reassurance close to the purchase decision because these documents are sensitive.
- Medical records are stored in AWS London and processed in UK/EU regions.
- Files are encrypted at rest and transferred over HTTPS.
- Access is limited to the reviewer handling your case.
- Medical records and case data are normally deleted 90 days after report delivery.
- Your medical data is not sold, shared for advertising, or used to train public AI models.
Common questions
Can I buy this without the Grounds Assessment?
The pathway is designed to start with the Grounds Assessment so families do not buy full preparation when evidence refresh, complaint, or no action is the better route.
Is this for a negative Checklist decision?
Usually no. A negative Checklist is not the same as a full CHC eligibility refusal, so it normally needs a different response.
Do you attend the Local Resolution meeting?
No. This is written preparation and guidance only. It does not include representation or attendance.
