Direct Payments/Self Directed Support

A Direct Payment is a form of Self Directed Support. It is a cash payment made to you as an alternative to a service provided or bought by the City of Edinburgh Council to meet your needs.

This will give you the flexibility and control to decide in which way you can best meet your assessed needs.
