Developing a new software language to model different clinical conditions and procedures
Often (as in our HMRC Inquiry claim case study) a company (or sadly in many cases an inexperienced advisor) will incorrectly identify the field of advancement and consequently either jeopardise the claim entirely or at least significantly reduce the potential value of the claim.
Our Case Study ‘HMRC Inquiry Software and Medical R&D claim’ describes how we ‘inherited’ a client who was in an HMRC Inquiry and facing the prospect of the claim being rejected and after our involvement we were actually able to increase the claim value from £550,000 to £680,000 and have the claim approved by HMRC within a few weeks.
Our experience with E-Health claims is that it is vital to identify the field in which the technological advance is being made.
