Access resources to manage your Direct Payment
Every local authority can offer money instead of arranging services for those who are eligible. When a council gives someone money in this way it is known as a Direct Payment.
Direct Payments are payments made to a disabled person (or a representative of their choosing) into a bank account or prepaid card. The aim of Direct Payments is to give people more choice, greater flexibility and more control over the support they receive.
