A Personal Assistant (PA) is paid to help an individual in any aspect of day to day life. In most cases, they are employed by the individual, who will pay tax and National Insurance contributions for them.
A PA employed by an individual has Employment rights and is entitled to holidays and sick pay. The terms and conditions of work such as start and finish times and hours of work are agreed at the start of the Employment, just like in any other job.
A Direct Payment is social care funding from the Local Authority, which can be spent to meet an individual’s needs in the way they choose.
Direct Payments allow individuals to receive money from the Local Authority to pay for the care and support that they have identified as right for them.
Blue Sky Brokers can help you understand and manage your Direct Payment through the Derbyshire Direct Payment Support Service (DDPSS), offering guidance and practical support to help you make informed choices about your care.
