Similar to Direct Payment, the
Independent Community Living scheme (ICL), is a financial package offered to
persons with disability to live more independently or provide more assistance
in more intense situations. The package can cover services provided by a
live-in carer or an amount of hours which exceed the maximum offered through
the Agency’s own human resources or Direct Payment (13 hours per
week). This service can be accessed through the same channels mentioned in
the section entitled How
to Access the Service and can be accessed by those
already receiving other services depending on the situation and needs.
If the person requests an amount in
excess of 30 hours per week, the request will fall under the Personal
Assistance Fund (PAF).
