    Have you looked at the CSA website?

    Look here http://www.csa.gov.uk/new/faq/calculatecm.asp#Q5

    Scroll down slightly to you find the heading flat rate. And it say £5 from the absent parent on incapcity benefit.

    That is on the new system which all new cases are on.

    Do you mean what deductions can be made in respect of CSA when some one is on IB?
    If so then if applicable the max is £5 per week for benefits of £100 and under

    If you have looked at the link I posted that is what it seems to be saying to me.

    When my husband was made redundant and was claiming JSA he only had to pay £5 a week for his two children.

    Thanx for that everyone,
    I thought it was that but wasn't too sure if I was reading it right or not.

    If the kids stay overnight with the absent father more than 52 nights per year then the case would be assessed as Nil if there is no shared care then the case would be £5.00
