Crazy crazy rule - where's the incentive to get off benefits and back to work in that?:rolleyes:
Added to in October 2009 (yes this year!) CHB will be disregarded for HB/CTB purposes too!!

Most of the changes seem to be as a result of what people wanted from the csa - money going directly to children instead of being used to offset benefits.
(Edited my post as benefits policy should not be discussed here - please see my thead in Discussion Time if interested (although it seems to have gone off-topic!)(AKA HRH_MUngo)
