Annual direct payment review

Each year a review of your direct payment account will be completed. The review will:

• check that you are paying your assessed financial contribution
• ensure direct payment are being used in line with your care and support plan
• how direct payments are working for you
• any unspent funds

Unspent funds may be reclaimed. This will only happen if you have no outstanding payments or suitable plans for the funds. If we find any unspent funds during your review, we’ll get in touch with you.

You will also have an care review every year. A Reviewing Officer will get in touch to arrange a time to discuss how things are going.
