How much money will you get?

moneyThe Council will look at the number of hours you need. The Council will also look at who you want to buy support services from. They will give you enough money to pay for your support.

savings
If you have money of your own – like wages from a job or savings – the Council might give you less. They might also ask you to pay a bit towards your support.

council agrees
The Council has to agree your plan. Then you have to report back to them about how you spent the money.


If the Council won’t give you a Direct Payment, they have to explain very clearly why not.
