The Government has recognised that Direct Payments are a success for those who have them,but unfortunately many people are simply not being offered them when they should be!

There are wide variations in uptake, both between local council schemes and across the different groups of individuals across the UK and we would like to hear from you with your experience in your own county.

Care at Home can also help you with your Direct Payments if you are having problems.
Further information about Direct Payments can also be obtained from Age Concern. They publish a useful leaflet (Factsheet 24) entitled Direct Payments from Social Services.

In addition, the National Centre for Independent Living (NCIL) publishes a very helpful book entitled Everything You Need to Know about Direct Payments.
