The disability movement has struggled hard to gain acceptance for the 'big idea' that disability can be considered as a form of institutional discrimination or social oppression. As these 'social model' have gained political currency so they have engendered a profound reexamination of British social policy. Disability movements has been emphasized rights of disabled people, futhermore, they has been proposed that self-assessment and self-management in human services. Disability movements promoted a sustained campaign for direct payments legislation. Community Care (Direct Payments) Bill was published in November 1995. The legislation came into force the following year, permitting local authorities to make direct payments to people assessed as needing community care services. Consumerism formed the major basis of this new legislation. But Important value conflicts were apparent in discussion about direct payments in disability mevement. The purpose of this paper is to consider the relationship between consumerism and disabled people's sovereignty of their lives from the discussion in disability mevement.
