Protected Income - quick question

Secretj

Can anyone answer this? I'm on the old system, I am the PWC. My ex is single and has no other children.

My last couple of assessments state the The NRP's Net Income and Protected Income on them.

However I thought the Protected Income should be 70% of the Net Income but when I work this out the Protected Income is more. Does anyone know what the extra Protected amount is for please? (Just curious.)

The protected income on the old system is housing costs along with the personal allowance for a single person over the age of 25. If you are talking about a deo protected income that is 60%. I suspect what you are talking about is the max amount of child support on the old system which is 30% that would leave the other parent 70% of there income.

It is the higher amount of either 70% of net income OR the disposable income less the allowances.

On a DEO there is no such think as PI it is PE [Protected Earnings] doubt that you will find anyone that works in the CSA that can tell the difference, more than one has had to admit this to an MP at meetings we have had!

Can anyone shed any light as to why my protected income cannot even cover my mortgage and council tax, but they still persist ?

Shall end up giving up work, selling my house (at a loss) and claiming benefit soon, all this and its affecting my health

Your protected income only allows for interest and council tax plus personal allowances. If you don't have children in your household then it will also be capped at 50% of your net income.
