Child Maintenance (CSA) questions (merged)

Hiya,
My hubby is mid-reassessment by the dreaded CSA.
I know that they allow a certain amount for living expenses, but will they look at actual mortgage monthly payment or total amount outstanding?
Reason for asking is that my mum wants to make me a gift of some money (she is starting to worry about IHT!) and I was thinking of paying off some of our mortgage, which could reduce our monthly payment and make it easier for us to manage at the moment whilst I am still out of work myself. She is concerned that this may be reflected in his CSA payments.
Any advice?
Cheers!

The best advice you can give your children: "Take responsibility for your own actions...and always Read the Small Print!"
..."Mind yer a*se on the step!"
