Direct Payment Support Service
The Direct Payment Support Service (DPSS) teams are here to help if you or your representative have chosen to receive a direct payment to meet assessed care needs.
If you are an adult with eligible care needs, this would be your personal budget. For a child or young person with special educational needs and/or disabilities, this would be a short breaks budget.
We can help you with:
- Information, advice and guidance
- Finding a personal assistant carer
- Employment support
- Personal assistant carer training
- Payment services
