Hi @tomwalker apologies that no-one was able to answer your question. I found some information here that explains what you can use direct payments for https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/wales/family/looking-after-people/direct-payments-w/using-direct-payments-for-care-w/ . You don't have to use the payments for a carer, you can buy equipment or use it to make adaptations to your home too.

Did you contact them to explain your situation?
