DIRECT PAYMENT SUPPORT REQUEST
DIRECT PAYMENT SUPPORT SERVICES
Parent and Carer Alliance CIC are now providing services to support parent carers with managing direct payments.
A direct payment is a fund made available to you so you can buy services to meet assessed needs, rather than having it delivered to you by your local authority. The payment must be enough for you to buy services that meet the assessed needs and the money must be spent on services that meet those needs.
For example, you may agree to receive a direct payment in order to employ personal assistants. You will be required to keep a record of how you spend your direct payment and your local authority will want to see those records, usually once a quarter.
