You CAN use the money to...

• pay towards a Personal Assistant,
• pay support staff from an agency or charity,
• help you go to college, or to work,
• get ‘meals on wheels’ delivered for your dinner.
You CAN’T use the money for...

• health care, like physiotherapy or other treatments, equipment,

• paying a relative or someone who lives in the same house to support you.

To apply for the Independent Living Fund, you send a form signed by a Care Manager saying why you need it. You need to send a form showing how much money you already have coming in.
If you don’t know a Care Manager ask your Support Worker or Social Worker. They will know how to find one.

The Independent Living Fund people will get in touch to look at what you need.

You can get more information and all the forms at:
