When will my SDS payments end?

The local authority should only end your Self Directed Support (SDS) payments as a last resort – your SDS payments may end because:

• You want them to end,
• You cannot manage them anymore, even with support,
• You don’t need care and support any more, or
• You did not follow the conditions.

They can stop your payments temporarily if your condition improves for a short time.

If your SDS payments stop, your local authority should try to make sure there is no delay in getting you services to meet your needs.
