What’s inside

  • All 12 domains of the Decision Support Tool explained in plain English — what each one is actually assessing
  • A structured evidence and care diary log, so nothing gets forgotten under pressure
  • The questions worth asking the assessment team, and the ones families most often wish they'd asked afterwards
  • Brief guidance if you disagree with the decision, including local resolution and an Independent Review Panel

This is general guidance to help you prepare, not legal or clinical advice. Where a decision needs a specialist, such as a solicitor experienced in CHC appeals, we say so.

Created by Steve Evans after navigating his mum’s dementia and his dad’s terminal illness. These are the practical pages he wished his own family had ready. Read our story
