you are allowed to keep £20 per week of maintenance before your IS starts getting reduced

Get onto them asap as they have made a mistake and will backdate the loss once it is sorted.

It has to child maintenance or CSA to get the £20 disregard, if it for you as an ex-spouse or partner it will count in full as income.

What did you tell them it was for?
