Balancing the budget
I have Direct Payments for care and so wonder what differnce these Budgets will mean for me as I still need the care. As I have council house adptions are paid for by the council as the landlord.
I would love to have holidays every year but have to find money for that and beg for extra money to take PA or two, so far I have been given just ten days extra PA costs for one holiday in ten years. I stll had to pay for extra room for the PA so cost of holiday doubled!
Will those of us who get DP get any extra for other things we would like to do or have? I doubt it so those who need less care will have more money to improve thier life experience whilst us who do need care all the time will just get the same if we lucky and be in poverty still with hardly any enjoyment in life.
I would love to do some more studies, more holidays, days out etc, I need equipment NHS and council will not provide like ramp to get into my garden.
I will wait and see but I think there will be those who benefit more and those who benefit less in this scheme.
