What are direct payments?

That's it, really.

I'm struggling as a carer for DS1 and someone said to see if I can get direct payments to help towards a cleaner. I have never heard of this and it sounds far too good to be true.

What are they exactly?

You'll have to fight for it though if where you live is anything like where we do..
