Managing your Direct Payment

To have a Direct Payment, you need to have your own Bank Account.

The Direct Payment money will be paid in to your Bank Account every month.

If you do not have a Bank Account you can set one up.

If you need help to do this, you could look at the Making Money Easier Guides to Banking. They tell you everything about having a Bank Account.

You will need to write down how you spend your Direct Payment.

You can get someone called a book keeper to help with this. You can ask your family or advocate to help you find one.
