in Child support
Sorry if this has been covered before

If a person on benefits receives CSA payments is it up to that person to inform the DWP that they are receiving CSA payment

Also can you remember the figures of the disregard

Just now it is £20 pw and in April it goes to the full amount .

Thanks

    Yes, it is up to that person to declare they are getting CM.

    You have the figures right, it changes on 12th April.
    Be who you are, say what you feel, those who mind don't matter, those who matter don't mind.
    They say that talking to yourself is a sign of mental illness. So I talk to the cats instead.

    I just hope she has informed the benefits agency as the CSA have gave me a breakdown of what went to PWC and what has went to SOS


    Of course she would have :)

    Basically child maintenance should be reported as a source of income for any benefit that the state gives you apart from Disability straight from the DWP
