I'm confused why would you be calling the child support agency about carers allowance. Are they not two seperate benefits dealt by two different departments?Hit the snitch button!member #1 of the official warning clique.

They're supposed to end the carer's allowance when the child reaches 16, but it appears some earlier posters on a similar thread have been told by the CSA that this allowance will be removed at the next reassessment date, which, of course, could be a long time away.
Personally, I would request a reassessment yourself which should bring your case up to date & allow you to pay the correct amount of child support.Donedoingdebt Lightbulb moment January 2000. Debt at highest approx £102,000. Debt now (October 2009 - absolutely fork all!!!):beer:

Knowing the CSA, probably not. They may well say that any changes take place from the date of reassessment. As kelloggs stated, do it asap.thanks for the info, daughter turned 16 in november 2008 would i get it backdated to then?Donedoingdebt Lightbulb moment January 2000. Debt at highest approx £102,000.
