Does anybody here get direst payments and how did you go about getting them? I already get a support package from social services totalling 25 hours a week but I'm unhappy with the staff the care company provide so if I went with direst payments I could choose my own staff. Do you find it more beneficial getting them? I suffer from bipolar so one of the things is I'm reckless with money, do you think they;ll let me have DP? Thanks.

You can request a change in provider at any time through your social worker. Sometimes there is a list of approved ones. Also if you have family/friend they can take control of your direct payment if you would struggle with it. But it remains yours and for your support only.

Speak to your social worker or advocate first.
