Questions for Kelloggs36

Thanks to both of you for your info. Still trying to get my head around it! Yes Kelloggs36 you are a machine!
I never gave CSA my salary details before as we weren't married at the time of the last assessment and my husband (being in the Army) lived away. He paid half our mortgage (about £250) and accommodation costs for his army room (also £200) the CSA would only take into account one payment -which I can understand but a bit unfair in the circumstances i.e no choice. This didn't make any difference to his payment!
My question is this - if now 2 years on, how much will a reassessment be when our situation is:
My husband is based near our home for the time being, so will be contributing only to one accommodation - our mortgage as we have moved since assessment is higher (was £900 but now £620 due to tracker rate gone down), council tax (£215)etc has doubled.
From January I will be paid mat pay
The PWC is working full time since Jan
My husbands pay has increased by £300 net per month.
My husband doesn't want to rock the boat in case we end up paying more, but I feel that we will be so worse off with me not working and a new baby.
Also should the PWC have informed the CSA she has been working since Jan? Will this be back dated if we tell them? She always asks for a re-assessment when she knows our circumstances have changed, so find it unusual this time.
Thanks again
