Not heard of that term before. There are social services direct payments of course paid direct to service users to pay for their own care. These have been transformed radically over the last couple of years, under personalization (called personal budgets), to increase personal choice. For, example a service user was given direct payments to pay for a season ticket for a carer to accompany him to his local team’s home games.
And, of course there is ILF. Unfortunately the criteria for ILF changed last month and the fund is not accepting new applications from anyone not in employment.
