03 · Claims, fought

The system owes you. We go and get it.

Continuing Healthcare. PIP. Discharge from hospital with no plan. We bring the solicitors. You bring what you have. We do the chasing.

What we fight for

Continuing Healthcare claims when the NHS should be paying for someone's care and is not. PIP applications and reconsiderations. Hospital discharge planning when you have been told to leave with no support in place. Backdated funding when the system has charged you for something it should have covered.

We do triage, packaging, evidence-gathering, and the long chase that breaks most families. We bring regulated solicitors when the case calls for legal teeth. We do not give legal advice ourselves.

How we charge

Two paths. Same destination.

Most UK CHC firms charge £6,000 to £10,000 upfront. We don't. Start free. If you want priority attention you can pay for it. Either way, you only pay real money out of money you didn't have before we started.

03 · Hand-off

Solicitor, no win no fee

25-30%of recovery, paid by solicitor

When your case has legs, we hand the package to a vetted UK solicitor. They run the appeal on no-win-no-fee. You pay nothing upfront. They take their percentage of what's recovered.

  • Regulated UK firms only, vetted partners
  • No win, no fee on retrospective claims
  • Recoveries typically £40,000 to £250,000
How handover works

Most families start with 01 (free call), then 02 (free triage). Some choose 02b (£500 fast-track) when timing is critical. Either way, the case ends at 03 with a regulated solicitor, paid only on success.

The journey

From "I think they owe us something" to recovered.

01
Free 45-minute call
You tell us the situation. We tell you whether it looks like a claim and which kind. No paperwork.
02
Free triage and packaging
If the case has legs, we pull every record into one evidence pack. Pay nothing upfront. Optional £500 fast-track if you want priority week-one attention.
03
Hand off to a vetted UK solicitor
They run the appeal on no-win-no-fee. You pay nothing more upfront. Their fee is 25 to 30% of what is recovered. Our fee (if you took the free triage path) is 5 to 10% of recovery, paid on success.
04
Recovery, sometimes years
CHC retrospective claims typically recover £40,000 to £250,000. We stay alongside you and the family for the long stretch.
The Almanac is not crisis care. If you are in danger right now or thinking about ending your life, call 999 or Samaritans on 116 123. They are trained for that moment. We are here for the long, quiet work between.
