Paying direct by SO and arrears

I am paying CM payments direct by SO at the moment to the PWC based on a CSA assessment.

If a Tribunal award a higher amount will arrears become payable and would the CSA (if asked) attempt to collect those arrears?

The CSA said that they would not be interested prior to any date that they started collecting the CM (by DD). However following some legal advice I was told that all arrears would be come payable following a Tribunal decision.

Can anybody clarify?

Many thanks

LJ

    What is the tribunal decision for? If it changes the assessment then yes arrears are due, but it is up to the PWC to ask the CSA to collect if they want to.
