How you can use your personal budget

You can use your personal budget in different ways and for lots of different things as long as they help you meet the needs set out in your assessment.

You can use it to:

• pay for your personal care and support from a care agency
• learn new skills
• employ a personal assistant who can help you with your care needs, such as helping you get dressed, preparing meals, cleaning, shopping, taking you to appointments or social activities
• take a break from your caring role
