Direct Payments support
The Disability Resource Centre provides a wide range of services to help you live independently at home.
A Direct Payment is a way that people can access funds to arrange their own care and can continue to live as independently as possible.
Local authorities and health authorities in England and Wales have a statutory responsibility. They must offer support to people with assessed needs and the option of receiving a direct payment.
Government funding
We can help you to work out if you will be eligible for funding for your local authority (Council or NHS CCG).
Book a free appointment with our care experts today.
We’ll help you with all the paperwork and form-filling.

If you receive funding from your local authority then you will not have to pay for your support.
Whether you receive funding or not, we can still help you to find the ideal carer for your needs, so you can live independently at home.
