How is she milking the system? Maintenance (child) is not declarable for CTC.

Just a question....

Say if somebody had a reasonably wealthy ex partner, and they were receiving £300 pw in maintenance, this would not be declared on any benefits?

Yes that's I meant when I said I wasn't sure.

If the OP uses entitledto like others suggested it does ask for rents & council tax, but this is for other related benefits, not tax credits which are income based.

I must have missed that post then :think: perhaps you could point it out to me?

Child maintenance is not delcarable as income for ctc purposes, however I do believe there are certain procedures/depts that deal with excessive payments so they asses how much of it is CM as such.

No idea about any other benefits.

Ok, ok, no need to get narky about it.



OP, you can use entitledto.com it goes through everything that is used to calculate your benefits.

Liam's got it wrong:

entitledto does ask about rent and council tax. It doesn't say anywhere that TCs take this into account. However, when claiming HB / LHA / CTB, TCs are taken into account.

Whoo what have i started!! I was just wondering is there was a bit in the ctc renewal form to put that we were paying maintenance for my stepdaughter. As for what i said about her mother milking the system, she runs her own company (cash in hand).While claiming sickness benefit. She also has a council property which she sublets at a profit while she stays with her boyfriend and my stepdaughter stays with her gran.Thats what i meant by milking the system.Sorry i never put that in the first post.

If you know all those things for sure, why dont you shop her for benefit fraud?

As i have said it will directly affect my stepdaughter. I know its not right what she is doing. But its caused so many arguments in my house between me and dh, i would report her and he thinks its nothing to do with us, she is advertising her business and will get caught without us getting involved.Karma is his motto!!

What have I got wrong? I thought it had already been cleared up in other posts?
