Hi Everyone
My mum is currently in receipt of direct payments, she has just moved house and lives very close by so I am now able to become her full time carer. I was also caring for her at her previous address but was unable to do this on a full time basis as
the location was very rural and not easily accessible for me.
From reading online, the only stipulation I can see, is that the family member must not live in the same household for them to be entitled to receive direct payment.
In order to receive direct payments, I understand that I need to register as self-employed, is this all that I need to do?
Thanks
Gillian
