Direct payments for adult social care

A direct payment is when we pay your personal budget to you if you're eligible and willing so you can arrange your own care and support, giving you more choice and control over how it's delivered.

Help and contact

If you need help managing your Direct Payment, support may be available through a Direct Payment Support Provider.

Support Providers can help with tasks such as payroll, recruitment, record keeping and managed account services.

If you are unable to manage the Direct Payment yourself, it may be possible for a representative to act on your behalf or for a managed account arrangement to be put in place. Speak to Staffordshire Cares or your practitioner for advice about the options available to you.
