Suggestions for additions welcome and I will add them to this list:
NRP: Non resident parent
PWC: Parent with care
DEO: Deduction from Earnings Order
MEF: Maintenance Enquiry Form
IMA: Interim Maintenance Assessment
DP: Data Protection [file/s]
ICE: Independent Case Examiner
NRPP: Non Resident Parents Parner
SoS: Secretary of State
LO: Liability Order
CMEC: Child Maintenance and Enforcement Commission
C of C - Change of Circumstances
DO - Deduction Order (Banks/deposit takers)
DER - Deductions of Earnings Request
QC - Qualifying child
RO - Relevant other child
DM - Decision Maker
CM - Child Maintenance
CO - Charging Order
IMD - Interim Maintenance Decision
NQC - Non-qualifying Child
SC - Shared Care
PWCP - Parent with care partner
PeWC - Person With Care
DMD - Default Maintenance Decision
ROC - Relevant Other Child
MC - maintenance calculation
SUPSE - supersession (change to maintenance calc following a change in circs)
E/D - Effective date (date liability starts)
CHiB - Child Benefit
A big thank you to everyone has contributed.

When dealing with the CSA its important to note that it is commonly accepted as unfit for purpose, and by default this also means the staff are unfit for purpose.
