Compass Independent Living have been delivering Direct Payment/Personal Health Budget support services across the Country since 2006.
If you receive health and/or social care packages (Social Care Direct Payment or NHS Personal Health Budget) or self-fund your care, then we can support you to manage it in a way that gives you choice and control.

They can help you to understand your responsibilities and make it easier for you to do this by providing you with information and templates.
