“My mum has been living with dementia for a few years, but the Direct Payment has only been in place since February. I was apprehensive at first because it was a big change, and I didn’t understand what I was doing because getting everything set up and structured is difficult. But Independent Lives have been excellent at helping me to understand my responsibilities and how everything works.”
