What are the benefits of Personal and Individual Budgets?
Personal and Individual Budgets put you in control. You will be able to decide what support you need and how this care will be organised. Your care will be personalised to meet your needs. How will the money be paid to me? If you have a Direct Payment the money will be paid into your bank account, or another person’s bank account on your behalf, every four weeks. If you want Leicester City Council to manage you Individual Budget for you then you will not receive the money directly. We will spend it on your behalf to arrange your support.
