    Hi @Bernice18blue and a warm welcome to our community.

    I'm sorry to hear your sons contributions to respite have increased.  I wonder if you could give us a little more detail about it, perhaps by answering @woodbine 's questions :)  I'd also be inclined to contact your local authority to have the decision explained some more.

    Also, one handy contact to bear in mind is Disability Rights UK's free personal budgets helpline.  You can contact this on 0330 995 0404 between 9.30am-1.30pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

    I hope you're having a good Wednesday.  Take care and speak soon.

    Thanks  yes his increase is about £13. For his direct payment.52 but the payments he has to pay last year was £10 this year £30.52 so an increase of £20.52 that he has to contribute! This charge is for a week but my son only goes for 3 days so again some discrepancy !
