Direct Payments

What is a direct payment?

A direct payment is one of the Self-directed Support Options that you can choose to access your Individual Budget. This is the amount that has been assessed as being required to pay for your care and support needs.

Your Individual Budget, or part of it, can be paid directly to you as Option1 - Direct Payment - to enable you to purchase the care and support as agreed with your Care Manager in your Support Plan.

A direct payment means that your individual budget will be given to you to arrange and pay for your care and support, instead of Glasgow City Council arranging the service for you.
