Direct Payments

The PSNI/IL Service also leads on Direct Payments across the Department. Direct Payments is a way of paying money to a disabled person so that he or she can arrange his or her own support services. This is a popular method for people to have more choice and control over exactly how and when their support is provided to them.

Customer Engagement

The views of people who have used the PSNI service are gathered using questionnaires given to everyone when they have an assessment or a review. This allows people to tell us what we have done well, what we could do better, and what improvements you think we could make.
