alexmum2 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 If anyone can advice me..... I have read the posts on direct payments ad nellie advised bid to go to the jargon buster to get more info on social services criteria for direct payments. As i have had a great deal of difficuly in getting them for my DS I went to the site and the message I found said the site had been moved or renamed? server error? Any advice would be most welcome, on how i can find this site or if anyone knows the criteria that social services uses to agree to direct payments. I have been told such a lot of b...sh.. from my social servcies dept I don't have a clue as to wether it's right or wrong. They have done an assessment but I never received any comunication as to wether we had got direct payments and nothing to say we hadn't? all we have got is 2hrs support a week from a volunteer group called SOVA? When i contacted the manager of the 2 sociial workers who did the assessment to find out what was happening to my claim, she said because i had agreed to the volunteer group giving the respite i forfeited my claim?

Kathryn Report post Posted June 20, 2010 (edited) Hi Alexmum, Looks like an out of date link - thanks for letting us know. I've sorted it out so that the jargon buster links to the new NAS pages. Here is some information for you on Direct payments: http://www.autism.org.uk/en-gb/living-with...and-carers.aspx http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/DisabledPeople...ort/DG_10016128 K x Edited June 20, 2010 by Kathryn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
