Charity websites can be very useful for Continuing Healthcare assessments as they can provide useful evidence of the impact of particular conditions. Having statistics and evidence from organisations can support your case. You can also discover other information that you may not have been aware of that may support you in other ways.
The list is not exhaustive but is a good indicator of what kind of information is available on the internet. Each charity mentioned below is linked to their website. Each charity is responsible for the information contained on their site.
