If you've had an assessment and we can help with your care and support, we'll tell you the amount of money you'll get towards this. We call this your personal budget.
A personal budget is the amount of money used to pay for your care and support, this includes:
The amount you get depends on your care and support needs, and what is available or already in place to meet these needs.
If you want to arrange your own care and support, you can receive your personal budget by direct payment.
Find out how to get a direct payment.
If you don’t want to manage your personal budget, we can manage your personal budget for you and arrange your care and support.
You could also choose a combination of these 2 options.
To find out if you can get a personal budget, ask for an assessment from Adult Social Care.
