Am just wondering does anyone know how Direct Payments works. My little ones Personal Assistant is starting on Sunday coming. I have been informed that account is live and active but I have no idea as this is my first time.  So do I notify the local authorities of the hours the PA worked and they will pay that or are they meant to the account details for me to do it myself? Which I haven't received.

    It will depend on who's managing the direct payments, yourself or your local Authority.
    If you're managing them yourself then you should have received a bank card and details of how to access the online bank account.
