Hi everyone
I am new here and posted in the welcome forum but I am very interested to hear your views about direct payments across the country.
I am a direct payments advisor across Gateshead and North Tyneside, I have been in this role for the past 18 months, I would be happy to try and answer any misconceptions or myths when it comes to direct payments/self directed support.
There is currently a lot of changes going on throughout the country in respect of social care and users are not always aware of the do's and dont's of who they can employ, what they can spend their funds on and indeed more importantly what they cannot do.
Each local authority is different and I couldnt possibly comment on each individuals case without knowing the full history but I will try my best to answer some general queries.
