CS1 Tax credits/child aged 19

bdt1

Ok another query - sorry!!

CSA did a re-assessment in Sept 09, as my 2 d/d with PWC are getting older, one reached 19 so is no longer in assessment, thus the re-assessment.

My question is that CSA have informed me that at the assessment date my 2 stepchildren (ages 18 and 19yrs) who are in my household, were both working (ha chance would be a fine thing!!), and therefore will not be included in the protected income section. On the assessment date neither the 18 nor 19yr old were included in child tax credits for our household, as they had at that point not enrolled on their further education courses (enrolment was later that week!), so my question is that although I can prove that from enrolment both the 18 and 19yr old were in full-time qualifying education (1 doing AAT, other NVQ Motor vehicles), would they include the 19 year old in the protected income, or is it just applicable as with qualifying children, i.e up to age of 19 years.

Other blinder is, it makes me laugh that CSA tell me, children in my household were employed - as if????????????????? Like to see their proof, cos the children were not working!!!! In fact one was doing voluntary work until enrolment!

Bigger laugh is that they also say the children were working at point of a previous assessment we appealing against, they were ages 13 and 14 in 2004, so child slave labour isn't dead after all!!!! Not according to CSA anyway.

What a bunch of muppets, hope the Tribunal judge agrees, very unlikely my stepchildren were working at the age of 13 and 14 years old

Dont know what your laughing at i was down the Pitt at 14 :rotfl:

Did the CSA take the word of the PWC or use factual evidence .It shows now on my appeal papers the the PWC instigated my mess and the CSA didn't use factual evidence .

I would say the appeal judge will make them re asses as your step children don't look after them selves

Well, let me put it this way, the PWC has made a huge list of 'factual accusations' ie, how could I afford the brand new flashy car parked on my drive? (that she took pics of and sent to CSA), I managed to afford this car, as it was my wife's company car, provided by her employer, and I have submitted the evidence of this - silly moo, just keeps on making random accusations, just to throw spanner in works!!!

The children have not been working, but she was bound to say otherwise. I can prove that the tax credits were backdated for both stepchildren once I informed them that they had enrolled on their courses

Once 19 children are no longer in the assessment regardless of their status - until the rules change when that becomes 20.

Thanks Kelloggs, clarified that for us, I did suspect that once they turned 19 they would be out of protected section, even though they may still be eligile for tax credits.

Therefore would CSA be able to use as part of calculation full tax credit allowance for the stepchildren including that awarded to the 19 year old, in the assessment, even if the 19 year old was no-where in the NRP assessment?

Hope that makes sense x

It is income so yes, it would be used.
