care contribution tooooo much ??????

hi everyone ..... can anyone tell me why my 38 year old daughter has to pay almost 30 pounds per week towards her care when her only income is her disability benefits. she receives DLA care and mobility both at the higher rate and ESA she has no other income and no savings. she does receive Direct payments from the local authority to pay for her PA. my daughters contribution has gone from zero through to 28 pounds within the last 2 to 3 years just wondering if this is correct.

Aaahhhh well we are all healthy which is the main thing but life is complex as is everyone I suppose, lots of big and small issues that are hard to work out and negotiate.
I will start with the easy ones and go from there
Will definitely use this platform to ask some advice

Does your daughter get a lot of hours from direct payments? I hope the support she gets helps.
