| |
| About Us: |
| We offer a free support service for
anyone wishing to use direct payments and will arrange to meet with you. We can
tell you everything you need to know about direct payments which will help you
to decide whether a direct payment is right for you. |
| |
| These are some of the points you
will need to consider: |
- What your direct payment can be spent
on
- The amount of money you will receive
- How much money you will be expected to
contribute
- When and how payments will be made
- Circumstances in which the Council would
seek repayment
|
| |
| If you decide to go ahead you or
your power of attorney will: |
- Sign a service agreement between yourself
and the Council (Lifelong Care - Social Work).
- Open a separate bank account
- Make your direct payment bank statements
and other documents available to us.
|
| |
| By accepting direct payments you
take responsibility for managing the money and arranging your care services.
You are entitled to as much help as you need to manage the payments.
