Direct Payments
A direct payment is the sum of money that Coventry City Council will pay directly to you, so you can buy and arrange your own care and support, instead of the Council arranging it for you.
Direct payments are part of the Government's Personalisation agenda, which puts you central to the support you receive, helping you live as independently as possible and giving you more choice and control. Read our direct payments policy.
Who can have a direct payment?
Adults, children, parents of disabled children, young people and carers of any age who have had an assessment and have been told they are eligible for support from the Council with their social care needs.
You can also contact Penderels Trust on 024 7651 1611 or visit the Penderels Trust website for further advice.
If you would like to discuss this further or you require further advice, please contact the Council Independent Living Team on 024 7527 0960 or independentliving@coventry.gov.uk.
