Yes. Retrospective CHC claims can be made after a person has passed away. This is one of the most important (and least widely known) aspects of the CHC system. Many families who funded care privately for a deceased parent or spouse are unaware that they may be entitled to reclaim a significant portion of those costs.

SG67 handles retrospective CHC claims on a no-win no-fee basis. There is no upfront cost, and no fee if the claim is unsuccessful.
