Update and new questions!

Hi all, thanks again for the support on this forum I keep refering back to old threads and am slowly starting to understand the system.

We have now had a letter from the csa declining the PWC request for variation and detailing new calculation now they have the 08-09 SA tax return. Figures are as expected and even though they include the child tax credits which I didn't realize was his income (wrongly throught it was for my children:mad:) is equal to the private agreement that was is place. Fingers crossed that she doesn't appeal, find all the alegations so hurtful and get so stressed by it.

My question now is regarding applicible dates - pwc made application in sept 09, we sent them availiable tax return 07-08 as requested, calculation notified 12 oct 09, pwc immediately sent off for variation (can't comprehend the diff between turnover and profit) this reached us jan 09 and we returned everything they requested which included the 08-09 SA tax return that was submitted to HMRC end of Jan. So is the new calculation back dated to oct or is it from when they had the new return? Suspect the former and depressed that he was paying private agreement for this period. Do not begrudge his child the money but I'm out of work as contract finished and can't find new one and he had a major operation on 1st Dec and isn't allowed to work till at least Apr so paying twice couldn't have come at a worse time. We have notified CSA that he's signed off work but can't get ESA as I/ni office messed up and neither of our class 2 NI payments have been taken for last 4 yrs, in process of sorting this out but takes months and its highly unlikely that ESA will be back dated. I'm happy to pay his full CSA liabilty but if I can't find work I can't afford to run our household let alone contribute to his previous one.

I also can't help wondering what happens when the PWC declared to the benefits that she could not claim thru csa because she was scared of violence from the NRP (and was better off with the hush hush) but the moment benefits stop and shes entitled the full amount decides to claim. Would they do anything about the extra benifits she got? I realize that the undeclared CS payments over the £10/week can't be proved and so are irrelevant but I find it unbelieveable how the system can be played in this way. At least her insistance that CSA arrears would be due for the entire period since he left and they've been asking her for dets have been proved wrong and it is only from when she started claim. I so wish I had insisted that OH had gone to the CSA from the beginning instead of cash payments and paying bills + buying stuff but this would have left his kids with less plus she withholds access if he didn't do it her way. Mind hes lost them now anyway:(
