Direct payments - money for services you can arrange yourself
If you are entitled to financial help to meet your care and support needs, you can choose to receive money from us to buy services that meet those needs. This is called direct payments.
Due to essential maintenance, the following systems will be unavailable from 6.00pm on Monday 2 October until 8.00am on Tuesday 3 October: our online council tax, business rates and housing benefit services, and our welfare assistance form. You will also not be able to register to pay council tax online, make a change of address for council tax or cancel single person discount. You are still able to make a payment during this time. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
