    Because you didn't apply for it apparently. Did you ask the father for child support ? If you had a private arrangement (or told CSA you had) then they wouldn't get involved. If you didn't it was your responsibility to apply- CSA is hardly new .....How did you not know it existed ? Or did you choose to not apply and deprive yourself and your children of child support ?
    Plenty of people don't apply for it - especially if they prefer to/are comfortable financially without it.

    Same goes for child benefit ....no-one but you could apply for either so if you "survived on nothing" it was your choice. CSA started in 1993 btw.

    It was called the CSA from it's beginning in 1993.
    I often use a tablet to post, so sometimes my posts will have random letters inserted, or entirely the wrong word if autocorrect is trying to wind me up. Hopefully you'll still know what I mean.

    But back then any child support payments made via the CSA were deducted from benefits claimed.
