Carers' Direct Payments

The person I care for is self-funding, am I entitled to support still?

Anyone with caring responsibilities is entitled to a carers’ assessment regardless of their financial situation. A Carers’ Direct Payment is non-means tested meaning that we do not take into consideration your income and do not charge for the provision. However, it’s important to note that a Carers’ Direct Payment cannot be used to purchase care for the person you look after.
