Advance Arrears payments from the CSA

Hello, I'm searching for an answer but can't seem to find it.

Does anyone know the criteria in order to get advance payments of arrears in cases where the arrears are due to error on the part of the CSA?
SEPT 2008 - The CSA is responsible for collecting money in 553,800 out of 1,247,100 cases. In 442,000 of these cases the Resident Parent is on Benefits and so apart from £10 each, the money paid by each Non-Resident Parent goes to the Government and not the Resident Parent. The CSA collected £68.6m. Is the Govt. erasing child proverty? You decide!

    Scroll down to ' Situations where a PWC may be given an advance payment of child support maintenance due to them '

    Absolute !!!!!! to find as it is under the Advisers section...OLD RULES. Just thought you may find that handy to know if you wish to explore deeper.

    I can't find anything under the new rules section.
  • Also they will look to see that there is a clear pattern of payment from the NRP before offering it, whether it is by DEO, or other method, as they need to know that the NRP will make payments on arrears etc.
    Of course there is no reason not to ask even if your case doesn't strictly meet the criteria.
    Nothing to see here :beer:
  • not 100% sure but i dont think the agency does this for new rules cases. would be worth enquring about though
