Direct Payments For Carers

I understand that the cared for and cares of both can receive direct payments from the local council/authority.
I believe a carer's assessment is required.
Has anyone been down this road?
I guess it makes sense if a person has to move home or reduce hours at work to care for someone a number of hours per week they will have financial loss as authority expects people to care for free.
