The service will be provided to citizens assessed as being eligible for Social Care services who choose to take all or part of their Personal Budget as a Direct Payment, and for citizens who require support to manage Direct Payments.

Existing Direct Payment recipients will continue to be supported by the current Direct Payment Support Provider unless the citizen requests to change provider, the Council ends its contractual arrangement with a Provider, or a Provider serves notice against its contract with the Council.
