My care, My choice Adult Services
A 'Direct Payment' is a cash payment given to you by the council to buy your own care services from the person or agency of your choice.
Wigan and Leigh Personal Assistant Support Service or PASS has trained, experienced staff to help you in your role as an employer.
My Care is a quarterly newsletter for people who have a Personal Budget or Direct Payment that provides ideas on how people may use their funding to meet their care needs in a different way.
Here is a list of most of the documents you will need to manage your Direct Payments, plus useful information and links to assist you in employing Personal Assistants.
