NACSA Calculations?

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience of dealing with NACSA?

We've put in for an assessment check and they have reached the same calculations as we have so just wondered how accurate they normally are and how much standing (if any) they have with the CSA?

Thanks

    They are excellent - they can only be as accurate as the information you provide but they know the calculations inside out.

    Thanks Kellogs...

    They have calculated the same as I have.

    That we should be assessed as affording approx double what he is paying now but in 6 weeks when baby comes it will go back down to what he is currently paying.

    Do you have any knowledge of what happens if a change of circumstances like this happens during a re-assessment?

    So far my OH case worker has been a star and has said the odds are good that the difference would be put onto arrears for us to pay at a reasonable rate we can afford given the circumstances and given the short space of time the higher amount would be payable.

    Any ideas?

    They will do another assessment from the date that the change was notified, so if it hasn't been completed, they will complete the new assessment and then do a supse (change of circumstance) review and change it again.
