If you’ve already been assessed by your local council, you are likely to be allocated a Personal Budget, this can be paid in the form of Direct Payments, Individual Service Funds (ISFs), or Individual Budgets.

An individual service fund (ISF), is for those who can’t, or do not wish to manage the Personal Budget you have been allocated with to pay for care and support services. A service provider can be chosen to help you sort out all the payments and budgeting. Your chosen service provider will then hold your personal budget on your behalf, and you are still in control of how this is spent.
A Personal Budget is granted to those who have been assessed by your local council, depending on their financial circumstances. Depending on your circumstances, or choice, you may receive your Personal Budget either as Direct Payments or as an Individual Service Fund (ISF).

To receive a direct payment, you need to contact your council. They will meet with you to find out what help you need. This is called an assessment. The assessment will determine whether you need care service and if you’ll be eligible for funding. If you are eligible, the council will allocate you a personal budget.

As well as that, we will produce and give regular invoice to keep up with all the payments and make it easier for you by creating a direct debit or an online payment plan.
