This is a bit of a cliff edge for the payer isn't t? I believe it was 5% before the new system came in.

So a payer has to get a new job but has to take a pay reduction of say, 24%. He/she would still have to pay the rate they were when earning the higher wage? This would leave a lot of payers in the brown stuff.

Even if you flip it to the receiver, the payer receives a 24% pay increase but they will get no extra for the child.

Is this to cut bureaucracy or something? The brain-child of IDS?
