Have a Benefits Check
Find out if we can boost your household income with a Benefits Check! We recommend this option for everyone. Especially if you can’t get council-funded support. The extra money could help pay for the PA you want and help you live life your way. The best way to arrange a check through the link below. But you can also do this over the phone, text, or email.

Arrange a Needs Assessment
You might be eligible for funded support from the council. A care needs assessment is the first step to finding out. It looks at your situation and whether you meet the criteria for a Personal Budget. If you do, you can choose to get money to pay for a PA (if the Council deems this a suitable option for you).
