Annotation	In 2006, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) commissioned the authors of this article to review the Independent Living Fund (ILF), a forerunner of "cash-for-care" programmes in the UK. However, the programme now has to co-exist with a wider range of similar programmes and initiatives. The authors summarise the case for radical change that is proposed in their report. They note that they evaluated the operational framework of ILF against six criteria: equity, transparency, accessibility, self-determination, flexibility, and values and outcomes. (RH).
