Recovery and Repayments. The Council allows you to keep up to eight (8) times the weekly value of your Direct Payment as a reserve in the Account to help meet your assessed eligible care and needs in a flexible way. Should the balance in your Direct Payment account exceed this amount, your Direct Payment has not been appropriately used, or in case of overpayment, the Council will discuss the matter with you before recovering the excess amount. The Council reserves the right, after consultation with you and/ or your representative(s), to review your Direct Payment and adjust future payments where a significant under-spend of your Direct Payment has occurred. Without prejudice to the rights outlined in this agreement, the Council retains the right to recover Direct Payments in full or in part if it is satisfied that the money has been diverted from the use for which it was originally intended.
