Funding for your social care
services
There are many funding options available for you
to pay for your services. Most of the funding options are ‘government
backed’ such as Attendance Allowance, disability living allowance
and Carer’s living allowance. There is also the option of
Independent Living Funds (ILF), which are cash payments to disabled
people across the UK that promote the choice of independent living
in the community rather than in residential care.
The main funding option relevant to the services we provide is direct
payments provided by your local authority through social services
departments. Direct payments are made by local authorities to people
receiving social care services.The council will provide funding
for you to manage your own care.
To receive Direct payments you need to be assessed
by the local authority and fulfil their eligibility criteria .You
also need to be able to manage the payments (even if you need help
to do this).
Direct Payments will allow you to pay for your own
private home care arrangements and related activities such as day
care activities . Direct Payments give you greater flexibility and
control over the type of care you receive. By receiving money direct,
you get the means to purchase the support you feel you need and
choose your own care provider. You are not restricted to the councils
own preferred care providers.
This gives you control of choosing a provider that is flexible and
able to meet your needs. Do you know there are not many care providers
willing or have capacity to simply escort you to places such as
the church or on day outs? FCP aims to support you maintain your
hobbies and lifestyle.
