"To me Self Directed Support is a tool towards the goal of Independent Living." - Suzelle

Am I eligible?

Self–directed Support is comprised of a direct payment from your local authority to which can be added several funding streams such as the Independent Living Fund, Access to Work, Disability Living Allowance and Disabled Student Allowance.

Your Local Authority will determine whether you are eligible for Self-directed Support through your assessment. See Getting Started.
