Hi @marty1971,
Welcome to Scope's online community! It's great to have you on board.
I've moved this post to our finances group, where other members of the community may be able to help.

Hi @marty1971.
It's great too have you aboard Please fell free to ask us anything that might be bothering you ???
I myself hasn't had any dealings with the direct payments but I should think there are a number of our community that will be able to help you out.
Please please let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with.

Hi @marty1971!
I've been on Direct Payments for almost 20 years. It's a great scheme when it works but it can be very challenging when it doesn't.
Do you get Direct Payments? Or are you interested in learning more about them?
