An Individual Budget is when your local authority gives you some money to buy your support. A ‘dosh’ Financial Advocate can help you make decisions and tell social services what support you want and need.
Individual Budgets
If you are choosing to take control of your money, and you want to make choices about the support you receive, ‘dosh’ can help you to manage your Direct Payments.
‘dosh’ can provide Direct Payment budget planning with you. This will tell you how much your direct payment is, what you may plan to spend it on and how.
Your money will be kept in your own account. We are able to make payments for you and provide you regular information about your account, and help you understand it. What this means is that you will know at all times how much money you have, and you will keep any interest you may earn.
‘dosh’ will tailor your support. It may be that you or your circle of support just need help and a series of ‘tools’, like budgets or money plans set up and then you can manage your money. Or we can do it all for you.
Get in touch with us if you have any questions or need more information.
