We’ll arrange your care and support based on the care and support plan you have agreed with us, and use your personal budget to pay for it. This is not a Direct Payment. This is what we call a ‘commissioned service’.
This option may be ideal for you if you’re worried about managing money and/or the people you'll employ.
How it works
1. We arrange your care
We’ll spend your personal budget on meeting the needs identified in your care and support plan. We may commission services external to the council.
We’ll make sure that:
- we get value for money
- you are satisfied with your support
- we tell you exactly what we spend your budget on
2. Your contribution
Unless your assessment shows that you do not have to pay anything, we’ll send you a bill for the assessed contribution towards your care every 4 weeks.
Your charges will be worked out from the date your care and support services started. We will only bill you for the amount your assessment has shown you can pay.
