    I get the impression from the Child Support forum that some non resident parents are extremely adept at flying under the radar to evade their responsibilities. Has the legislation that's been introduced to trace absent parents been no use to you? Have they not commenced a liability order?

    Tax Credit time taken varies a lot - seems to be down to luck a lot of the time. You could try phoning them and impressing on them that you need this to be sorted out as soon as they can.

    Check you are claiming all you should be:

    Free school meals are generally for those who earn under a certain amount per year and don't receive WTC.
