csa and dla

My partner pays csa to his ex for his son, we have just started the claim process for our own child for disability living allowance, will the csa take this new money or will they leave it alone as i know they can't touch my child benefit but they do take our child tax credit into consideration.

  • Not sure about that, but get a Departures claim form and claim extra expenses for having a disabled person living in your household.
    This should reduce your CSA payments.
    You can also claim for high work mileage, and high contact costs on the departures form.

    No they can't touch DLA as it is income for the child.
