If it is a UK PA question:-
The facts are:
The disabled person does all the accounting, personnel work and management (unpaid), the local authorities and the government under the title of the ‘Independent Living Fund'(ILF) hold all the purse strings, rates of pay for PAs, conditions, etc. Both the local authority people and ILF people get paid.
To top it all, the disabled person is expected to pay an impairment tax (based on the physical needs created by their impairment) on top of the other taxes such as income tax, etc.
I hope that makes it clear.
