using direct payment for respite

Hi All
I wandered if any of you could give me some examples of creative ways you have used a DP or PB to access respite, other than in a traditional care setting. I am wanting to use my carers budget to book a weekend away as a break, what are your thoughts?

Thank you for sharing this with us. Some of our members may be able to share their thoughts on this.
Thanks for the info, can you tell me where i would find these rules as when i google it nothing comes up other than it depends whet you have been assessed for.....which just says respite.
Maybe i am not googling the correct wording so that is why its coming up blank??
